Effect of Treatment of Central Sleep Apnea/Cheyne-Stokes Respiration on Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Heart Failure: A Network Meta-Analysis

Conclusions:CPAP and ASV are effective in improving LVEF in patients with heart failure and CSA/CSR to a clinically relevant amount, whereas nocturnal O2 is not. There is no difference between CPAP and ASV in the comparative beneficial effect on cardiac function.Citation:Schwarz EI, Scherff F, Haile SR, Steier J, Kohler M.
