Sleep disorders in patients with acute and exacerbated chronic heart failure

Heart failure is often accompanied by sleep disorders. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy has proven in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, but the benefits associated with comorbid patients and patients with heart failure is still under research. On the other hand, central sleep apnea is also with high frequency in these patients and more difficult to treat. The aim of the current publication is to make a brief review of acute and exacerbated chronic heart failure in patients with sleep disorders – frequency, severity, and types to treat.
