Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can be treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and central sleep apnoea (CSA), in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), by peak flow-triggered adaptive servo-ventilation. Presently, there is equipoise as to whether treating SDB prevents cardiovascular events.
