Summary

Objective target of the registry is to investigate the prevalence of SDB as well as the clinical characteristics of patients with and without SDB as well as the predominant type of sdb. For this purpose data from patients suffering from chronic, symptomatic heart failure with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction will be collected prospectively.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must be over 18
  • Chronic heart failure (at least 12 weeks since diagnosis) according to the current applicable guidelines
  • Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF ≤ 45% by imaging method such as echocardiography, radionuclide angiography, left ventriculography, or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) documented less than 12 weeks
  • NYHA class III or IV at the time of inclusion or NYHA class II with at least one hospitalisation for HF in the last 24 months
  • Patient is able to fully understand study information and signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Life expectancy < 1 year for diseases unrelated to chronic HF
  • Cardiac surgery, Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Myocardial Infarction (MI) or unstable angina within 6 months
  • CRT-implantation (either CRT-D or CRT-P) scheduled or within 6 months
  • Transient ischemic attack (TIA) or Stroke within 3 months
  • Hemodynamically significant uncorrected primary valvular heart disease, obstructive or regurgitant, or any valvular disease expected to lead to surgery
  • Acute myocarditis/pericarditis within 6 months
  • Current CPAP or bilevel therapy
