Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Hurst's The Heart, 14e AB - Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), or sleep apnea, is common in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and its presence is associated with a poorer prognosis and high health-care costs.1,2 Increasingly, international guidelines suggest it is worthwhile to screen for this condition and that appropriate treatment may not only improve the patient's quality of life, but may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, recent evidence suggests that the relationship between SDB and the underlying cardiovascular condition may be complex, particularly in heart failure (HF), and further research is required to clarify the most appropriate treatment pathway for the individual patient.
