Sleep-disordered breathing in patients with heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction
Moderate to severe SDB is a frequent comorbidity in patients with HFpEF. Predominantly OSA is more frequent than CSA with significant clinical differences between patients with OSA compared to CSA. Whereas OSA is associated with a higher BMI in addition to male gender, CSA is associated with more advanced heart failure as indicated by higher HFA-PEFF scores, NYHA heart failure class and NT-proBNP levels.
