Sleep‐Disordered Breathing, Cognitive Functioning, and Adherence in Heart Failure: Linked Through Pathology?

Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is well recognized as a condition resulting from chronic neurohormonal activation. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) as a neurohormonal disorder is less recognized. In SDB, whether obstructive or central in nature, nightly repetitive cycles of hypoxia-reoxygenation produce intense sympathetic activation and deprive the body of much needed sleep. Both HF and SDB are associated with fatigue, cognitive impairment, and challenges for adherence to prescribed therapies. Together, the combination of… Show more

“…SDB is a special type of sleep disorder, mainly manifested as abnormal changes in breathing during sleep. It is characterized by repetitive nocturnal apnea and/or hypopnea, followed by a recovery phase with hyperpnea, which leads to circulation patterns of intermittent hypoxia-reoxygenation, arousal, and sympathetic activation ( 164 ). A previous study ( 32 ) revealed the correlation between cognitive function scores and oxygen desaturation index in HF patients.…”

“…Failure to take the medications or to use CPAP at least 4 h per night as directed results in inadequate NH blockade, leading to disease progression, worsening symptoms, and poor outcomes. Just as sleep deprivation resulting from SDB may compromise adherence in patients with HF, so might treatment of SDB improve decisions made related to prescribed HF therapies and adherence [48].…”
