Purpose The SERVE-HF study revealed no benefit of adaptive servoventilation (ASV) versus
guideline-based medical treatment in patients with symptomatic heart failure, an ejection …

Central sleep apnea (CSA) with and without Cheyne–Stokes respiration (CSR) has been
reported in approximately 50% of patients with systolic heart failure (HF)[1–10]. Since the …

This study investigated the association of microstructural cerebral lesions with central sleep
apnea with Cheyne-Stokes-respiration (CSA-CSR) in heart failure (HF) patients and the …

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the first-line treatment for obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA). Although the gold standard for the treatment of OSA, CPAP may not be …

Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is a form of non-invasive positive airway pressure (PAP)
therapy that differs from other PAP devices. It includes features to overcome both obstructive …

Abstract Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), either obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) or central
sleep apnoea (CSA)/Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) and often a combination of the two, is …

This chapter deals with different therapeutic approaches to medical conditions caused by
sleep-disordered breathing. General recommendations and conservative measures are …

Die Prävalenz von schlafbezogenen Atmungsstörungen (SBAS) beträgt ca. 30% bei
Patienten mit einer koronaren Herzerkrankung, ca. 30% bei Patienten mit Hypertonus, ca …

Introduction Patients that started on Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) need to define several
parameters selected on the basis of diurnal arterial blood gas and underlying disease. We …

Central sleep apnea (CSA) occurs primarily in cardiovascular patients and is associated
with high morbidity and mortality. The disorder often is unrecognized due to the overlap of …
