Cardiac failure presenting as sleep apnea. Elimination of apnea following medical management of cardiac failure.

چکیده
A patient with symptoms of sleep apnea syndrome had signs of congestive cardiac failure. A sleep study fulfilled the criteria for sleep apnea. Features of Cheyne-Stokes respiration coexisted. Management of the cardiac failure by weight loss principally due to diuretic use eliminated the symptoms of sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...

Background and Purpose: Sleep breathing disorders have a negative impact on the illness outcome and quality of life in patients with heart failure. This study was conducted to investigate the probability of obstructive sleep apnea in men with heart failure and some related factors. Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 100 male patients with systolic heart failure selected throu...

متن کاملInfluence of cardiac function and failure on sleep-disordered breathing: evidence for a causative role.
Heart failure is an increasingly common public health problem that is strongly linked to both central and obstructive sleep apnea, collectively referred to as sleep-disordered breathing. Much attention has been given to the deleterious effects of sleep-disordered breathing on the failing heart and potential mechanisms by which treatment of sleep-disordered breathing may result in improved cardi...
متن کاملCPAP should not be used for central sleep apnea in congestive heart failure patients.
399 B oth sleep apnea and congestive heart failure are common disorders. However, systolic heart failure appears to be the most common cause of central and perhaps obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is also common in isolated diastolic heart failure and may contribute to the progression of left ventricular remodeling and perhaps play a causative role. 1,3-6 However, prevalence and...
