Abstract
The normal sleep cycle is defined by variations in blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac events. While these variations may be cardioprotective in a normal pattern of sleep, sleep apnea disrupts the normal sleep-cardiovascular interaction. Sleep-disordered breathing is common in people with heart failure, increasing the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality of these patients. In addition, obstructive and central sleep apnea can happen in the same patient, increasing the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment. Due to the increased risk of cardiovascular events, the correct diagnosis and approach are crucial in these patients. The authors intend to present the most recent data about the treatment of these conditions.
