Background Therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) provides several
benefits for patients with heart failure (HF) complicated by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Aims Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic heart
failure (CHF) and may contribute to CHF progression. We aimed to determine whether …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent among patients with congestive heart
failure (CHF) and may contribute to progression of cardiac dysfunction via hypoxia, elevated …

Background Whether there is an association between sleep apnea (SA) and the risk of
developing heart failure (HF) is unclear. Furthermore, it has never been established whether …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an
effective treatment for sleep apnea (SA), although the evidence for improving chronic heart …

Background Cheyne-Stokes respiration with central sleep apnea (CSR-CSA) is associated
with a poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). However, some patients do not …

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) elicits a number of cardiovascular
perturbations that could lead acutely or chronically to increased ventricular ectopy in …

Background It has been known for a long time that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is
associated with a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Continuous positive …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in patients with heart failure.
Treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves systolic function in …

Patients with heart failure or OSA (obstructive sleep apnoea) have reduced HF-HRV (high-
frequency heart rate variability), indicating reduced cardiac vagal modulation, a marker of …
