A high prevalence of nocturnal Cheyne–Stokes respiration (CSR) has been documented in patients with heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (HFNEF). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of adaptive servoventilation (ASV) for treatment of CSR in these patients.In 60 patients with HFNEF, defined according to current European Society of Cardiology guidelines, CSR was documented by polysomnography (apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) of >15 events•h?1).
