Abstract
Heart failure (HF) affects many patients worldwide every year. It represents a leading cause of hospitalization and still, today, mortality remains high, albeit the progress in treatment strategies. Several factors contribute to the development and progression of HF. Among these, sleep apnea syndrome represents a common but still underestimated factor because its prevalence is substantially higher in patients with HF than in the general population and is related to a worse prognosis. This review summarizes the current knowledge about sleep apnea syndrome coexisting with HF in terms of morbidity and mortality to provide actual and future perspectives about the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of this association.

Evaluation of the Apnea-Hypopnea Index Determined by Adaptive Servo-Ventilation Devices in Patients With Heart Failure and Sleep-Disordered Breathing. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:680053. [PMID: 34250041 PMCID: PMC8267007 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.680053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) devices are designed to suppress central respiratory events, and therefore effective for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with heart failure (HF) and provide information about their residual respiratory events. However, whether the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), determined by the ASV device AutoSet CS (ASC), correlates with the AHI calculated by polysomnography (PSG) in patients with HF and SDB remains to be evaluated. Methods: Consecutive patients with SDB titrated on ASC were included in the study. We assessed the correlation between AHI determined by manual scoring during PSG (AHI-PSG) and that determined by the ASC device (AHI-ASC) during an overnight session. Results: Thirty patients with HF and SDB (age, 68.8 ± 15.4 years; two women; left ventricular ejection fraction, 53.8 ± 17.9%) were included. The median AHI in the diagnostic study was 28.4 events/h, including both obstructive and central respiratory events. During the titration, ASC markedly suppressed the respiratory events (AHI-PSG, 3.3 events/h), while the median AHI-ASC was 12.8 events/h. We identified a modest correlation between AHI-PSG and AHI-ASC (r = 0.36, p = 0.048). The Brand-Altman plot indicated that the ASC device overestimated the AHI, and a moderate agreement was observed with PSG. Conclusions: There was only a modest correlation between AHI-PSG and AHI-ASC. The discrepancy may be explained by either the central respiratory events that occur during wakefulness or the other differences between PSG and ASC in the detected respiratory events. Therefore, clinicians should consider this divergence when assessing residual respiratory events using ASC.

Acute Effects of Positive Airway Pressure on Functional Mitral Regurgitation in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure. Front Physiol 2017; 8:921. [PMID: 29218014 PMCID: PMC5703848 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2017.00921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2017] [Accepted: 10/31/2017] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Acute effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) [including continuous PAP (CPAP) and adaptive servo-ventilation, an advanced form of bi-level PAP] on functional mitral regurgitation (fMR) in patients with heart failure (HF) with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction remain unclear. Thus, whether PAP therapy reduces fMR in such patients with HF was investigated. Methods and Results: Twenty patients with HF and LV systolic dysfunction defined as LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% (14 men; mean LVEF, 35.0 ± 11.5%) with fMR underwent echocardiography during 10-min CPAP (4 and 8 cm H2O) and adaptive servo-ventilation. For fMR assessment, MR jet area fraction, defined as the ratio of MR jet on color Doppler to the left atrial area, was measured. The forward stroke volume (SV) index (fSVI) was calculated from the time-velocity integral, cross-sectional area of the aortic annulus, and body surface area. fMR significantly reduced on CPAP at 8 cm H2O (0.30 ± 0.12) and adaptive servo-ventilation (0.29 ± 0.12), compared with the baseline phase (0.37 ± 0.12) and CPAP at 4 cm H2O (0.34 ± 0.12) (P < 0.001). The fSVI did not change in any of the PAP sessions (P = 0.888). However, significant differences in fSVI responses to PAP were found between sexes (P for interaction, 0.006), with a significant reduction in fSVI in women (P = 0.041) and between patients with baseline fSVI ≥ and < the median value (27.8 ml/m2, P for interaction, 0.018), with a significant fSVI reduction in patients with high baseline fSVI (P = 0.028). In addition, significant differences were found in fSVI responses to PAP between patients with LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) index ≥ and < the median value (62.0 ml/m2, P for interaction, 0.034), with a significant fSVI increase in patients with a high LVESV index (P = 0.023). Conclusion: In patients with HF, LV systolic dysfunction, and fMR, PAP can alleviate fMR without any overall changes in forward SV. However, MR alleviation due to PAP might be associated with a decrease in forward SV in women with high baseline SV, whereas MR alleviation due to PAP might be accompanied by increased forward SV in patients with a dilated LV.

Abstract
The recent SERVE HF study concluded that patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) have increased mortality when treated with adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV). We, therefore, wanted to explore if these patients tolerated discontinuation of ASV treatment. The study was a prospective post-ASV treatment observational design with a 3-month follow-up period. 14 patients from our outpatient clinic, all male, were originally diagnosed with CHF and Cheyne-Stokes respiration, which is a clinical form of central sleep apnea. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was ≤45% when ASV treatment was initiated. Median machine use was 68 (42-78) months when the patients were instructed to terminate ASV treatment. The patients were then followed during conventional CHF treatment for 3 months. Study baseline was set the last ASV treatment day. Sleep data were collected from the machine the last day of use. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), LVEF, 6-min walk test and 24-h ambulatory electrocardiogram recordings were performed at baseline and at study end. Life quality data were obtained using The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionaire (MLHFQ). New York Heart Association Functional Classification (NYHA) was registered. An ambulatory sleep screening was performed at study end. AHI increased significantly after 3 months without ASV treatment [from 1.6 (0.8-3.2) to 39.2 (24.3-44.1, p = 0.001)]. Quality of life (QOL) decreased significantly: 30 (13-54) at discontinuation of ASV vs. 46 (24-67) (MLHFQ) at study end, p = 0.04. Though there was no significant change in NYHA functional class, patients especially reported increased shortness of breath, reduced concentration and reduced memory after discontinuation of ASV treatment. There were no significant differences in LVEF, heart rhythm data and physical capacity. Left ventricular function was preserved indicating that discontinuation of ASV in heart failure patients does not affect cardiac capacity. There was a significant decrement in QOL that must be considered in further treatment of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodic breathing (PB) is a normal immature breathing pattern in neonates that, if extreme, may be associated with pathologic conditions. METHODS We used our automated PB detection system to analyze all bedside monitor chest impedance data on all infants <35 wk' gestation in the University of Virginia Neonatal Intensive Care Unit from 2009-2014 (n = 1,211). Percent time spent in PB was calculated hourly (>50 infant-years' data). Extreme PB was identified as a 12-h period with PB >6 SDs above the mean for gestational age (GA) and postmenstrual age and >10% time in PB. RESULTS PB increased with GA, with the highest amount in infants 30-33 wk' GA at about 2 wk' chronologic age. Extreme PB was identified in 76 infants and in 45% was temporally associated with clinical events including infection or necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), immunizations, or caffeine discontinuation. In 8 out of 28 cases of septicemia and 10 out of 21 cases of NEC, there was a >2-fold increase in %PB over baseline on the day prior to diagnosis. CONCLUSION Infants <35 wk GA spend, on average, <6% of the time in PB. An acute increase in PB may reflect illness or physiological stressors or may occur without any apparent clinical event.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has a high prevalence in sarcoidosis. This high prevalence may be the result of increased upper airways resistance from sarcoidosis of the upper respiratory tract, corticosteroid-induced obesity, or parenchymal lung involvement from sarcoidosis. OSA is a form of SDB that is particularly common in patients with sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis and SDB share many similar symptoms and clinical findings, including fatigue, gas exchange abnormalities, and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Sarcoidosis-associated fatigue is a common entity for which stimulants may be beneficial. Sarcoidosis-associated fatigue is a diagnosis of exclusion that requires an evaluation for the possibility of OSA. Hypercapnia is unusual in a patient with sarcoidosis without severe pulmonary dysfunction and, in this situation, should prompt evaluation for alternative causes of hypercapnia, such as SDB. PH is usually mild when associated with OSA, whereas the severity of sarcoidosis-associated PH is related to the severity of sarcoidosis. PH caused by OSA usually responds to CPAP, whereas sarcoidosis-associated PH commonly requires the use of vasodilators. Management of OSA in sarcoidosis is problematic because corticosteroid treatment of sarcoidosis may worsen OSA. Aggressive efforts should be made to place the patient on the lowest effective dose of corticosteroids, which involves early consideration of corticosteroid-sparing agents. Because of the significant morbidity associated with SDB, early recognition and treatment of SDB in patients with sarcoidosis may improve their overall quality of life.
