Oxygen Versus PAP for Treatment of Sleep Apnea in Chronic Heart Failure
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Continuous positive airway pressure, Nocturnal supplemental oxygen, and 1 other intervention for Heart Failure and Sleep Apnea Syndromes. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare three treatment modalities for central, or mixed obstructive and central, sleep apnea in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. The modalities to be tested are nocturnal supplemental oxygen (NSO) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The main outcome measures will be left ventricular ejection fraction on echocardiogram and peak oxygen consumption on cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

Timeline
Interventions
Nocturnal continuous positive airway pressure, titrated to minimize apnea-hypopnea index
Nocturnal supplemental oxygen, titrated to 2-4 liters/minute with target of eliminating nocturnal hypoxemia
A 60-minute educational intervention with slide show and printed materials, educating the patient in healthy sleep habits and heart-healthy lifestyle
