This book systematically focuses on central sleep apneas, analyzing
their relationship especially with heart failure and discussing
recent research results and emerging treatment strategies based on
feedback modulation. The opening chapters present historical
background information on Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), clarify
terminology, and explain the mechanics and chemistry of
respiration. Following a description of the physiology of
respiration, the pathophysiology underlying central apneas in
different disorders and particularly in heart failure is discussed.
The similarities and differences of obstructive and central apneas
are then considered. The book looks beyond the concept of sleep
apnea to daytime CSR and periodic breathing during effort and
contrasts the opposing views of CSR as a compensatory phenomenon or
as detrimental to the failing heart. The diagnostic tools currently
in use for the detection of CSR are thoroughly reviewed, with
guidance on interpretation of findings. The book concludes by
describing the various forms of treatment that are available for
CSR and by explaining how to select patients for treatment.
