Abstract

Nonhypercapnic central sleep apnoea is a disorder of respiratory control characterized by hyperventilation previously attributed to the stimulation of either pulmonary vagal afferent nerve fibres or respiratory chemoreceptors. This report describes central sleep apnoea in a patient with congestive heart failure following bilateral lung transplant in whom pulmonary vagal afferent nerve activity was absent.
