Results: MMT patients and normal subjects were 35 ± 9 years old (mean ± SD), and BMI values were 27 ± 6 kg/m 2 and 27 ± 5 kg/m 2 , respectively. Thirty percent of MMT patients had a central apnea index (CAI) > 5, and 20% had a CAI >... more
This paper first describes the AM-FM demodulation of an arterial pressure signal. Although it is known to be efficient on signals modulated by breathing, we demonstrate that in case of lack of respiratory modulation (real or simulated... more

Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (TECSA) is a distinct form of sleep-disordered breathing characterized by the development of central sleep apnea during the initiation of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy in patients with... more

POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE (PAP) APPLIED THROUGH A NASAL, ORAL, OR AN ORONASAL INTERFACE DURING SLEEP IS THE PREFERRED TREATMENT FOR obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but may also be used for some patients with central sleep apnea (CSA) and ...
Background— The prevalence and characteristics of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in patients... more
Cheyne-Stokes respiration with central sleep apnea (CSR-CSA) is a form of periodic breathing, commonly observed in patients with heart failure (HF), in which central apneas alternate with hyperpneas that have a waxing-waning pattern of... more
One month administration of acetazolamide (ACET) (at sea level) improves periodic breathing and decreases the number of central apneas (CA) (De Backer et al., 1995 Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 151, 87-91) in nonhypercapnic central apnea... more
Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) is a form of central sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in which there are cyclical fluctuations in breathing that lead to periods of central apneas/hypopnea, which alternate with periods of hyperpnea. The... more
BACKGROUND: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is present in more than 50% of ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure. The prevalence and type of SDB in hospitalized patients with acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are not... more
Background —Recent studies suggest that acute pulmonary congestion induces hyperventilation and that hyperventilation-related hypocapnia leads to ventilatory control instability and central sleep apnea. Whether chronic pulmonary... more
