PREVALENCE OF SLEEP APNEA IN HEART FAILURE
Recent polysomnographic studies have reported a high prevalence of both obstructive and central sleep apnea in patients with heart failure. Central sleep apnea is the predominant form, although obstructive sleep apnea is also common, and both forms of sleep apnea may occur in the same patient. However, for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons, arbitrary polysomnographic criteria are used to define predominant central versus obstructive sleep apnea. Independent of the kind of sleep apnea, diagnosis of sleep apnea is important, because the pathophysiologic sequelae of sleep-related breathing disorders, such as hypoxemia, may impact the natural history of heart failure. The prelavence of sleep apnea in heart failure has been the subject of many studies. Most systematic studies have been performed in patients with systolic heart failure. Very limited data are available in isolated diastolic heart failure.
Sleep apnea in systolic heart failure
Systematic studies show that approximately 40% to 80% of patients with systolic heart failure have an apnea-plus-hypopnea index ≥ 15 per hour. Figure 1 depicts the prevalence of sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and obstructive sleep apnea in a few studies that used full-night polysomnography.
The largest prospective study in systolic heart failure involved 81 ambulatory male subjects with stable treated heart failure. Several aspects of this study need to be emphasized. We asked 93 consecutive eligible patients to take part in the study and 81 accepted. Exclusion criteria were presence of significant comorbid disorder (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and unstable cardiovascular status.

LA PREVALENCIA DE LA APNEA DEL SUEÑO EN LA INSUFICIENCIA CARDÍACA
Los estudios polisomnográficos recientes dan cuenta de una prevalencia alta de la apnea obstructiva y la apnea central del sueño en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca. La forma predominante es la apnea central del sueño, si bien también es frecuente la apnea obstructiva, y es probable que ambas se presenten en el mismo paciente. Sin embargo, por razones diagnósticas y terapéuticas, se compara la apnea central predominante con la obstructiva mediante la aplicación de criterios polisomnográficos arbitrarios. Más allá de la clasificación de la apnea del sueño, el diagnóstico de la apnea es importante porque las secuelas fisiopatológicas de los trastornos respiratorios asociados con el sueño, como la hipoxemia, pueden afectar la evolución natural de la insuficiencia cardíaca. La prevalencia de la apnea del sueño en la insuficiencia cardíaca ha sido objeto de muchos estudios, realizados la mayor parte de ellos en pacientes con insuficiencia sistólica. Son muy escasos los datos disponibles en la insuficiencia cardíaca diastólica aislada.
La apnea del sueño en la insuficiencia cardíaca sistólica
Los estudios sistemáticos demuestran que aproximadamente del 40% al 80% de los pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca sistólica presentan un índice de apnea-hipoapnea de ≥ 15 por hora. En la figura 1 se presenta la prevalencia de la apnea del sueño, la apnea central y la apnea obstructiva en algunos estudios que utilizaron polisomnografía durante toda la noche.
El mayor estudio prospectivo sobre insuficiencia cardíaca sistólica utilizó 81 pacientes ambulatorios de sexo masculino con insuficiencia cardíaca tratada y estable. Es necesario destacar varios aspectos de este estudio. Invitamos a participar en él a 93 pacientes idóneos de casos consecutivos, de los cuales aceptaron 81. Los criterios de exclusión fueron la presencia de un trastorno o enfermedad concomitante (como la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica) y un estado cardiovascular inestable.
