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

In view of this, how do the researchers explain the dramatic effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on CSA when the benefit of CRT (on echocardiography and exercise) is equal in patients with and without CSA? [...]the effect of CRT on sleep apnea, as described by Sinha et al.
