In Patients with HF, Treatment of Coexisting OSA with CPAP will:
FIG. 11: As summarized in the previous Figures, OSA has both acute and overnight adverse effects on hemodynamics that are largely reversible by treatment with CPAP. This led to the design of ADVENT-HF, to test the next hypothesis: whether in patients with heart failure, treatment of co-existing OSA with CPAP would improve cardiac mechanics measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and would reduce sympathetic nervous system activity.
