Why the study?

Does continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improve left ventricular function in patients with congestive heart failure and sleep apnoea?

Structured PICO

Does continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improve left ventricular function in patients with congestive heart failure and sleep apnoea?

Population

Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and sleep apnoea

Intervention

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and other treatments for sleep apnoea

Outcome

Left ventricular function / cardiac functionsurrogate

This review highlights the potential physiological benefits of CPAP for improving cardiac function in patients with congestive heart failure and sleep apnea.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports physiological rationale for CPAP in CHF with sleep apnea; leaves open need for outcome trials.
