PERIODIC LIMB MOVEMENTS IN SLEEP AND HEART FAILURE: EFFECTS OF ADAPTIVE SERVO-VENTILATION TREATMENT OF CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA

PURPOSE: Periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to investigate whether PLMS change in response to adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) titration for central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with HF. METHODS: We examined consecutive attended polysomnographic studies conducted between 2010 and 2014 at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN (N =14,444). Among those,...
