Prognostic value of nocturnal Cheyne-Stokes respiration in chronic heart failure.

Pathophysiology and treatment of Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

Cheyne-Stokes respiration is a disorder characterised by recurrent central apnoeas during sleep alternating with a crescendo-decrescendo pattern of tidal volume. 2 It is often observed in patients with congestive heart failure, usually during stages 1 and 2 non-REM sleep when ventilation is under chemical-metabolic control. Patients with Cheyne-Stokes respiration usually present with the sympto...

Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy in the Management of Mild Cheyne-Stokes Respiration in Stable Congestive Heart Failure

Compliments of: Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy in the Management of Mild Cheyne-Stokes Respiration in Stable Congestive Heart Failure

Cognitive impairment in heart failure with Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

OBJECTIVES To document the degree of cognitive impairment in stable heart failure, and to determine its relation to the presence of Cheyne-Stokes respiration during sleep. SUBJECTS 104 heart failure patients and 21 healthy normal volunteers. METHODS Overnight oximetry was used (previously validated as a screening tool for Cheyne-Stokes respiration in heart failure). Cognitive function was a...

Sleep and heart failure.

"For several days his breathing was irregular; it would entirely cease for a quarter of a minute, then it would become perceptible, though very low, then by degrees it became heaving and quick, and then it would gradually cease again: this revolution in the state of his breathing occupied about a minute, during which there were about thirty acts of respiration" CHEYNE, 1818 [1). Despite the ove...
