Beyond the Apnoea–Hypopnoea Index – Prognostic Value of Other Elements of Polysomnography to Describe Sleep-disordered Breathing in Heart Failure
Keyword(s):
There is increasing appreciation of the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDP) in heart failure. As we examine this patient population, the difficulties of determining success in the treatment of SDB are becoming evident. The apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI) is the standard method of measuring both the severity of the disease and treatment success, but in itself is a composite of multiple components. This article examines both current and developing measurements in the treatment of SDB.
