Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to explore the relationship between snoring, daytime sleepiness, and the risk of developing hypertension among normotensive individuals aged 18 to 69 in France.* -
- Out of nearly 35,000 participants, those who reported habitual snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness had a higher incidence of treated hypertension during a follow-up period of about 3.1 years.* -
- The findings suggest that regular snoring and daytime sleepiness could serve as useful indicators for hypertension risk, indicating that screening for these symptoms might help in preventing high blood pressure.*
Unlabelled: The non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder (N24SWD) is a rare condition, sometimes associated with blindness or with suprachiasmatic nuclei lesions, resulting in a free-running rhythm or hypernycthemeral syndrome. Synchronizers, such as light, when light perception remains, melatonin, food intakes, physical activity, social interactions, and temperature, play a key role in the treatment of N24SWD. In this report, we describe a case illustrating the impact of outdoor temperature in a 34-year-old man with N24SWD effectively treated through a combination of chronotherapy interventions.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) on morbidity and mortality in a large heterogeneous population of HF patients with different etiologies/phenotypes.
Methods: Consecutive HF patients with predominant central sleep apnea (± obstructive sleep apnea) indicated for ASV were included; the control group included patients who refused or stopped ASV before three months follow-up.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Although the disorder has been well studied in selected high-risk populations, few data exist on its prevalence in the general population. We aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of OSA in France.

Adaptive servo-ventilation is a therapy that uses a noninvasive ventilator to treat central sleep apnea by delivering servo-controlled inspiratory pressure support on top of expiratory positive airway pressure. We investigated the effects of adaptive servo-ventilation in patients who had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and predominantly central sleep apnea.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To compare compliance with and effectiveness of adaptive servoventilation (ASV) versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with the central sleep apnoea syndrome (CSA) with Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) and with congestive heart failure in terms of the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI), quality of life, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) over six months.
Methods: 25 patients (age 28-80 years, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV) with stable congestive heart failure and CSA-CSR were randomly assigned to either CPAP or ASV. At inclusion, both groups were comparable for NYHA class, LVEF, medical treatment, body mass index, and CSA-CSR.
