Obesity-Hypoventilation Syndrome: Baseline Hemodynamic Status and Impact of non-Invasive Ventilation.
Obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a risk factor for heart failure (HF). Some studies associate the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with changes in hemodynamic parameters. Our objective was to describe the hemodynamic status of a group of patients with OHS and to study the effect of NIV. ⋯ A total of 46% of patients with stable OHS present HF; NIV improves hemodynamics and does not affect patients with normal CO.
