Central sleep apnoea (CSA) occurs in approximately one-third of patients with HF and is associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality compared to HF patients without CSA.1–3 CSA results in intermittent hypoxia and activation of the renin–angiotensin system, which contributes to worsening HF.4 Symptoms such as fatigue and difficulty concentrating often overlap with the effects…

Heart Failure
In developed countries, approximately 1–2 % of the adult population has heart failure (HF), and the prevalence of this cardiovascular disease increases with age.1,2 HF can occur in the presence or absence of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), known as HF with reduced ejection fraction (HF-rEF) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HF-pEF), respectively. The most…

Central sleep apnoea (CSA) is characterised by cycles of apnoea, hypopnoea and hyperpnoea during sleep due to abnormalities in the regulation of breathing within the respiratory centre in the brainstem. CSA, defined as an apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI) of ≥15 events/h, is common in patients with heart failure (HF), with a prevalence of 20–45 %.1, 2 Its presence is reported to be a marker of…
