Alleviation of Pulmonary Hypertension by Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy is Associated with Improvement in Central Sleep Apnea

Abstract

The results demonstrated that CRT significantly reduces CSA in patients with HF. Importantly, we have noted a decrement of PASP correlated to drop in CSA which maybe one of the mechanisms explaining this observation. Future studies are required to confirm our finding and elucidate other possible mechanisms in this regard.
