Periodic Breathing - Central Sleep Apnoea (CSA)
CSA is a periodic waxing and waning of ventilation. In chronic heart failure (CHF), CSA is a result of increased chemoreflex sensitivity, prolonged circulation time (low cardiac output) and low functional residual capacity (Francis et al. Circulation 2000).
In CHF, CSA is associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis (Lafranchi et al…

The heart requires a high rate of oxygen uptake to maintain mechanical function in order to provide sufficient energy to balance the requirement of the mechanical function. Oxygen consumption increases in almost direct ratio to the increased workload; when the oxygen supply is inadequate for the demand, reversible or irreversible metabolic changes may occur. Such an imbalance is most often…
