What is the recommendation for the treatment of sleep disorders in patients with NYHA class II-IV HF and suspicion of sleep-disordered breathing or excessive daytime sleepiness?
The recommendation is that a formal sleep assessment should be conducted in patients with NYHA class II-IV HF and suspicion of sleep-disordered breathing or excessive daytime sleepiness. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea may be reasonable to improve sleep quality and daytime functioning.
