Ventricular arrhythmias in patients with chronic heart failure and central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes respiration
https://doi.org/10.21886/2712-8156-2024-5-1-7-14
Abstract
The review is devoted to the influence of central sleep apnea and Cheyne-Stokes breathing on the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure. The connection between sleep breathing disorders and an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and the mechanisms of these interactions are discussed, and options for approaches to therapy are considered.
