Inverse relationship of subjective daytime sleepiness to mortality in heart failure patients with sleep apnoea

ConclusionsIn patients with HF and SA, the degree of subjective daytime sleepiness is inversely related to the mortality risk, suggesting that among HF patients with SA, those with the least daytime sleepiness are at greater risk of death. They may therefore have greater potential for mortality benefit from therapy of SA than those with greater daytime sleepiness.
