Impact of SERVE-HF on management of sleep disordered breathing in heart failure: a call for further studies

Dominik Linz et al. Clin Res Cardiol. 2016 Jul.

Abstract

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) (obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea/Cheyne-Stokes respiration or the combination of both) is highly prevalent in patients with a wide variety of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension, arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and stroke (reviewed previously in the September issue of this journal). Its close association with outcomes in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF) suggests that it may be a potential treatment target. Herein, we provide an update on SDB and its treatment in HF-REF.

Keywords: Adaptive servoventilation; Arrhythmias; Heart failure; SERVE-HF; Sleep apnea.
