Summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy on pulmonary arterial (PA) pressures in acute decompensated heart failure (HF) patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study will also assess changes in functional parameters, biomarkers, and echocardiographic parameters.
