Cardiac resynchronization therapy, central sleep apnea, and Cheyne-Stokes respiration in chronic heart failure patients: Reply

Importantly, all patients in our study had CSA and no evidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Because apnea occurred with a periodic pattern in patients with known advanced heart failure we believe that the breathing pattern can be classified as CSA although timing of arousals relative to respira...

Summary:Importantly, all patients in our study had CSA and no evidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Because apnea occurred with a periodic pattern in patients with known advanced heart failure we believe that the breathing pattern can be classified as CSA although timing of arousals relative to respiratory events could not be evaluated with the polygraphy system used.
