Sleep-Disordered Breathing During Congestive Heart Failure: To Intervene or Not to Intervene?
Cardiac Failure Review 2017 November
Sleep-disordered breathing is common in heart failure patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Central sleep apnea occurs more commonly in heart failure-reduced ejection fraction, and obstructive sleep apnea occurs more frequently in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Although the two types of sleep-disordered breathing have distinct pathophysiologic mechanisms, both contribute to abnormal cardiovascular consequences. Treatment with continuous positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea in heart failure has been well defined, whereas treatment strategies for central sleep apnea in heart failure continue to evolve. Unilateral transvenous neurostimulation has shown promise for the treatment of central sleep apnea. In this paper, we examine the current state of knowledge of treatment options for sleep-disordered breathing in heart failure.
