Central sleep apnoea in congestive heart failure despite vagal denervation after bilateral lung transplantation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonhypercapnic central sleep apnoea is a disorder of respiratory control characterized by hyperventilation previously attributed to the stimulation of either pulmonary vagal afferent nerve fibres or respiratory chemoreceptors. This report describes central sleep apnoea in a patient with congestive heart failure following bilateral lung transplant in whom pulmonary vagal afferent nerve activity was absent.

Increased long-term mortality in heart failure due to sleep apnoea is not yet proven.
Previous small-scale studies of the effect of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) on prognosis in congestive heart failure (CHF) are either lacking or conflicting. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the presence and type of SDB on mortality in a patient group with severe CHF referred to a specialised heart failure centre. Out of 78 patients ((mean +/- SD) 53 +/- 9 yrs, left ventricu...
متن کاملAssisted ventilation for heart failure patients with Cheyne-Stokes respiration.
Patients with chronic congestive cardiac failure (CCF) frequently suffer from central sleep apnoea syndrome (CSAS). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been suggested as a treatment. The authors hypothesised that bilevel ventilation might be easier to initiate and superior to CPAP at correcting the sleep-related abnormality of breathing in patients with CCF. After excluding those wit...

Two main types of sleep-related breathing disorders occur in patients with congestive heart failure: obstructive sleep apnoea and Cheyne–Stokes respiration with central apnoeas. Obstructive sleep apnoea is characterized by recurring upper airway collapse with ongoing respiratory effort during sleep, causing repetitive surges of negative intrathoracic pressure, arousals, and oxygen desaturations...
متن کاملOCCASIONAL REVIEW Central sleep apnoea syndrome in patients with chronic heart disease: a critical review of the current literature
The prevalence, prognosis, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the central sleep apnoea syndrome (CSAS) are reviewed and its relationship with congestive heart failure (CHF) is discussed. Adequately powered trials are needed with survival and health status as end points to establish whether correction of sleep related breathing abnormalities improves the outcome ...
متن کاملRelationship of carbon dioxide tension in arterial blood to pulmonary wedge pressure in heart failure.
Hypocapnia contributes to the genesis of Cheyne-Stokes respiration and central sleep apnoea in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and is associated with increased mortality. However, the cause of hypocapnia in patients with chronic stable CHF is unknown. Since pulmonary congestion can induce hyperventilation via stimulation of pulmonary vagal afferents, the present study tested the hy...
