ABSTRACT
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) occurs in approximately 50% of patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction receiving contemporary heart failure (HF) therapies. Obstructive (OSA) and central sleep apneas (CSA) interrupt breathing by different mechanisms but impose qualitatively similar autonomic, chemical, mechanical, and inflammatory burdens on the heart and circulation. Because contemporary evidence-based drug and device HF therapies have little or no mitigating effect on the acute or long-term consequences of such stimuli, there is a sound mechanistic rationale for targeting SDB to reduce cardiovascular event rates and prolong life. However, the promise of observational studies and randomized trials of small size and duration describing a beneficial effect of treating SDB in HF via positive airway pressure was not realized in 2 recent randomized outcome-driven trials SAVE, which evaluated the cardiovascular effect of treating OSA in a cohort without HF, and SERVE-HF, which reported the results of a strategy of random allocation of minute-ventilation-triggered adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) for HF patients with CSA. Whether effective treatment of either OSA or CSA improves the HF trajectory by reducing cardiovascular morbidity or mortality has yet to be definitively established. ADVENT-HF, designed to determine the effect of treating both CSA and non-sleepy OSA HF patients with a peak-airflow triggered ASV algorithm, could resolve this present clinical equipoise concerning the treatment of SDB.
