Study 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.

Primary Outcome

Standard transthoracic 2-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography will be performed. M-mode measurements of LV dimensions will be performed and analyzed according to the American Society of Echocardiography recommendations and LVEF measured using the modified Simpson's method. Measurement is change from baseline in LVEF.

Interventions
