Adaptive servoventilation improves cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure and Cheyne–Stokes respiration

摘要

Background and aims Sleep disordered breathing (SDB), especially Cheyne–Stokes respiration (CSR) is common in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Adaptive servoventilation (ASV) was recently introduced to treat CSR in CHF. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ASV on CSR and CHF parameters.
