Comparative Study Observational StudyPrognostic value of sleep apnea and nocturnal hypoxemia in patients with decompensated heart failure.
Nocturnal hypoxemia is an important factor underlying the impact of sleep apnea on heart failure. It remains unclear whether nocturnal hypoxemia has a greater prognostic value in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) compared with the frequency of sleep apnea. ⋯ Nocturnal hypoxemia had a greater prognostic value in ADHF than the frequency of sleep apnea.
