Our findings suggest the novel concept that the negative pattern of CSR-CSA may constitute a form of auto-resuscitation that acts as a compensatory mechanism to maintain SV in patients with severe HF.
Conclusions PG is a powerful contributor of CSR and should be evaluated together with the CG and circulation time to individualize treatments aimed at stabilizing breathing in heart failure.
This study investigated the association of microstructural cerebral lesions with central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes-respiration (CSA-CSR) in heart failure (HF) patients and the effect of positive airway pressure therapy (PAP) of CSA-CSR on these lesions.
