Abstract Background Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent in acute ischaemic stroke and is associated with worse functional outcome and increased risk of recurrence. Recent meta-analyses suggest the possibility of beneficial effects of nocturnal ventilatory treatments (continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV)) in stroke patients with SDB. The evidence for a favourable effect of early SDB treatment in acute stroke patients remains, however, uncertain. Methods eSATIS is an open-label, multicentre (6 centres in 4 countries), interventional, randomized controlled trial in patients with acute ischaemic stroke and significant SDB. Primary outcome of the study is the impact of immediate SDB treatment with non-invasive ASV on infarct progression measured with magnetic resonance imaging in the first 3 months after stroke. Secondary outcomes are the effects of immediate SDB treatment vs non-treatment on clinical outcome (independence in daily functioning, new cardio-/cerebrovascular events including death, cognition) and physiological parameters (blood pressure, endothelial functioning/arterial stiffness). After respiratory polygraphy in the first night after stroke, patients are classified as having significant SDB (apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) > 20/h) or no SDB (AHI < 5/h). Patients with significant SDB are randomized to treatment (ASV+ group) or no treatment (ASV− group) from the second night after stroke. In all patients, clinical, physiological and magnetic resonance imaging studies are performed between day 1 (visit 1) and days 4–7 (visit 4) and repeated at day 90 ± 7 (visit 6) after stroke. Discussion The trial will give information on the feasibility and efficacy of ASV treatment in patients with acute stroke and SDB and allows assessing the impact of SDB on stroke outcome. Diagnosing and treating SDB during the acute phase of stroke is not yet current medical practice. Evidence in favour of ASV treatment from a randomized multicentre trial may lead to a change in stroke care and to improved outcomes.

In addition to lifestyle interventions, treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea focus on maintaining upper airway patency. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recommended as first-line therapy. Beneficial cardiovascular effects of CPAP include increased intrathoracic pressure, reduced left ventricular preload and afterload, and reduced transmural cardiac pressure gradients. CPAP also reduces nocturnal ischaemia and blood pressure, and decreases the risk of post-treatment atrial fibrillation recurrence. However, secondary prevention with CPAP did not significantly reduce the rate of major cardio- and cerebrovascular events in the SAVE study. Mandibular advancement devices, surgery, and upper airway stimulation are options for patients unwilling to use or tolerate CPAP. Central sleep apnoea and Cheyne–Stokes respiration are common in patients with heart disease, especially heart failure. Adaptive servo-ventilation is the most effective therapy for alleviating central sleep apnoea with Cheyne–Stokes respiration. However, it is now contraindicated in heart failure patients with an ejection fraction of 45% or lower and predominant central sleep apnoea because of an increased risk of cardiovascular death, based on SERVE-HF study results. However, adaptive servo-ventilation may still have a role in other settings, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Phrenic nerve stimulation is a new treatment modality that has shown promising results in a feasibility study. Hypoventilation is another breathing disorder that needs effective management. Data in cardiovascular disease are lacking, but CPAP and non-invasive ventilation have been shown to be effective in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Furthermore, effective reduction of chronic hypercapnia during home non-invasive ventilation treatment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been shown to significantly improve survival.

Abstract Aim To determine prognostic value of novel oximetry-derived metrics in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and high cardiovascular (CV) event risk. Methods and results Ancillary study of the Sleep Apnoea CV Endpoints (SAVE) randomised controlled trial, which investigated the effects of CPAP treatment on secondary CV event outcomes in 2687 participants with moderate-severe OSA and established CV disease. Associations between baseline characteristics, standard sleep and pulse oximetry-derived metrics, and CV outcomes were determined in Cox proportional hazards regression models stratified for treatment allocation. Metrics evaluated included: oxygen desaturation index, time below 90% oxygen saturation (SpO2), average SpO2across recordings (mean SpO2), across episodic desaturation events (desaturation SpO2), and baseline interpolated through episodic desaturation events (baseline SpO2); duration and desaturation/resaturation time ratio of episodic desaturation events; and mean and standard deviation of pulse rate. No SpO2 metric was associated with the composite outcome. Mean and baseline SpO2 were negatively associated with heart failure (hazard ratio [HR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69–0.95; P=0.009 and 0.78, 0.67–0.90; P=0.001, respectively) and myocardial infarction risk (0.86, 0.77–0.95; P=0.003 and 0.81, 0.73–0.90; P<0.001, respectively) and marginally positively associated with stroke risk (1.09, 1.00–1.20; P=0.065 and 1.13, 1.02–1.26; P=0.020, respectively). Desaturation duration and desaturation/resaturation time ratio, with established risk factors, predicted heart failure (area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve 0.86, 95% CI 0.79–0.93). Conclusions Higher mean and baseline SpO2 were associated with reduced risk of heart failure and myocardial infarction, and small increases in stroke rate. Desaturation shape may have predictive utility for future CV events. Clinical trial registration: clinicaltrials (NCT00738179).
