Evaluation of PAP ecacy
https://t.me/medicina_free
In most portable monitoring devices, apnoea/hypopnoea underestimation is caused by the following.
Lack of EEG data:
the denominator used (time in bed or time of registration or time corrected
through the use of surrogates of sleep/wake state) to obtain the index will impact the results;
associated respiratory arousals are not evaluated systematically, or surrogates
are used.
Lack of desaturation in some patients, which is a criterion used in the definition of
hypopnoea.
Therefore, portable monitoring devices induce a loss of accuracy. Thus, it is important to be aware of the methodological limitations of the monitoring device used when assessing treatment ecacy.
AHI during PAP treatment
Despite the limitations mentioned previously, the term AHI is oen used indiscriminately. The advantage of using AHI is that it alerts caregivers to the level of severity and to the ecacy of the treatment.
AHI improvement can be expressed in dierent ways: reaching a specific threshold (e.g. <5 events·h−1 is considered normal in adults) or a specific level of reduction (e.g. reduction >50%) with an AHI below a chosen threshold. In the recent National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline, the expert committee agreed that the aim of treatment is to achieve an AHI of <5 events·h−1, which is not always reached in practice, despite a substantial improvement in symptoms or quality of life. The AASM guideline mentions that when using portable monitoring, the PSG titration study should reflect control of the patient’s obstructive respiration by a low AHI (preferably <5 events·h−1) at the selected pressure at sea level and a minimum

Although classifications developed to depict OSA severity are oen based on AHI, OSA is a complex and heterogeneous disease. Therefore, the concept of phenotyping for personalised medicine for OSA patients is growing in the scientific literature, providing a large panel of subtypes of OSA patients, and paving the way for tailored medicine.
Despite these considerations, there are no high-level studies (evidence) establishing the degree of AHI improvement to be reached, and even fewer studies considering specific OSA phenotypes. For example, in phenotypes associated with REM sleep OSA or positional OSA, the total AHI is not an exact indication of the disease severity. According to the AASM guideline, an optimal titration reduces RDI to <5 events·h−1 for a 15-min duration and should include supine REM sleep at the selected pressure that is not continually interrupted by spontaneous arousals or awakenings.
Oxygen parameters under PAP treatment
Measures considered to be clinically significant are ODI (number of 3% or 4% events·h−1), mean S and interesting concept is hypoxic burden, but due to dierent methods in the

oxygen desaturation. However, the exact amount of improvement regarding oxygen parameters under PAP treatment that should be reached is still not completely clear.
Moreover, presence of comorbidities (e.g. COPD, OHS) will impact this assessment. In those patients, portable monitoring assessing oximetry alone is not advised in the follow-up of PAP treatment ecacy.
Evaluation of BP and other cardiovascular events under PAP treatment
PAP treatment and arterial hypertension
The relationship between OSA and arterial hypertension (AHT) has been studied for many years. The prevalence of OSA in the AHT population increases where there is resistant hypertension. OSA triggers direct and intermediate mechanisms associated with the development and persistence of AHT (see chapter 4.1 of this Handbook). Therefore, together with the fact that OSA is an important treatable cause of secondary AHT, it is important to diagnose OSA and to evaluate the potential benefits of CPAP treatment. Definition of AHT and methods used for monitoring AHT are described in table 1.
It is complex to identify the conditions required to reach a beneficial eect on AHT and when it should be expected. A common relevant finding is that there is a positive and linear dose–response relationship between increased CPAP daily use, severity of AHI and AHT, and the reduction in BP levels. Aer starting antihypertensive drug therapy, it is important to review the patient at least once within the first 2 months to assess the eects on BP. Many studies have used 24-h BP measurement, which is considered to be the most accurate diagnostic method. The frequency of the re-evaluation will depend on the severity of AHT, the urgency to achieve BP control and the patient’s comorbidities (at least yearly is advised). Clinicians should measure BP and weight in routine follow-up. Obesity is a confounding factor in the association between AHT and OSA and significant fluctuations in weight will impact both diseases.
Molecular phenotyping classifies individuals based on molecular features. In the HIPARCO study, aer 3 months of adherent CPAP treatment in resistant hypertension patients, reduced micro (mi)RNAs and decreases in aldosterone-to-renin ratios (positively correlated to the change in mean BP values) were significantly greater in the responder group. Currently, cardiovascular markers such as miRNAs are not assessed in clinical practice and future studies are needed to establish the relevance of the newly identified phenotype and potential applications.

PAP and other cardiovascular events
Observational data showed that PAP treatment improves the ecacy of cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (AF) (leading to the same risk of recurrence than in patients without OSA) and improves catheter ablation success rates.

aer cardioversion. 6 months of CPAP therapy reverses atrial remodelling in OSA. Moreover, screening AF patients for OSA improves identification of ‘high-risk’ patients for thromboembolism, while OSA treatment improves thromboembolic risk by attenuating impact of OSA itself.
A grey area exists regarding the use of the pulse transit time (PTT), an indirect quantitative measure of inspiratory eort. This parameter is evaluated in dierent studies, but has been less used in clinical practice. This is probably linked to the lack of specificity of this parameter (e.g. also aected by nonrespiratory arousals), the existence of clinical limitations (e.g. in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities or taking specific medication) and the diculty in identifying an acceptable level of therapeutic improvement under PAP therapy.
In summary, the evaluation of PAP therapy ecacy in OSA patients is mainly based on improvement in disease severity (AHI/RDI), sleepiness and sleep-related quality of life, combined with a well-used PAP therapy and absent or, at most mild PAP-related side-eects, allowing for good tolerance and comfort. Technical methods used for PAP initiation, titration and follow-up are described in other chapters of this Handbook. The evolution of symptoms can be evaluated by a full sleep history. Use of questionnaires can be a useful adjunct, but several questionnaires lack reliability or validation in OSA patients. In patients with persistent symptoms or PAP-related problems, PSG or portable monitoring during PAP treatment is recommended. It is important to be aware of possible portable monitoring limitations with regard to assessment of AHI/ RDI and oxygen parameters. The exact level of adequate improvement in several parameters (including dierent oxygen parameters and breathing eort) needs to be further elucidated.

CSA diers from OSA, not only in terms of the underlying pathophysiology and comorbidities, but also in clinical symptoms. While EDS is the most prominent adverse eect of OSA, patients with CSA may not report daytime symptoms at all, or may complain of nonrestorative sleep or symptoms of any underlying disease. The lack of typical or limiting symptoms questions the indication to treat CSA. Therefore, the question arises of whether the suppression of CSA improves outcome of aected patients. The results of the SERVE-HF trial (ASV for CSA in systolic HF) questioned the beneficial eect of treatment of CSA in periodic breathing for prognostic purposes.
Proceedings in our understanding of OSA have focused on the determination and definition of dierent phenotypes. This influences our approach to the patients, regarding risk stratification and therapeutic decisions. Despite the huge heterogeneity of underlying causes of CSA and the variety of PSG and clinical presentations, consideration of phenotypes in CSA is still deficient. This may be due to the lower prevalence of CSA impeding sucient cluster analyses.
Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to define, more precisely, the potential risk of CSA. Are there subgroups of phenotypes in the CSA population and do they dier in terms of outcome? Available literature focuses almost exclusively on patients with HF. Therefore, we will discuss HF subgroups, clinical phenotypes, pathophysiological characteristics and potential biomarkers that indicate prognostic impact in HF patients with CSA. A summary of the clinical and pathophysiological markers of poor outcome in CSA that are discussed in this chapter is given in table 1.
Key points
• CSA is associated with impaired outcome in HF patients.
• Patients with HF and CSA represent a heterogeneous population, requiring characterisation based on clinical and physiological parameters.
• Detailed characterisation will allow for an individualised diagnosis and selection of treatment.

HF subgroups
Prospective cohort studies showed the impact of sleep-related breathing disturbances (SRBD) in patients with HF. Patients with reduced le ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) associated with untreated CSA or OSA have a significantly higher mortality risk compared to patients without SRBD and to those treated with PAP.
The severity of systolic HF is associated with the reduction of LVEF. This seems to play a major role in the interpretation of the results of the SERVE-HF study, which is extensively discussed in the next chapter in this Handbook, ‘Central sleep apnoea in chronic heart failure’ (chapter 9.2). Predefined secondary analyses of the data showed that the risk of impaired survival under ASV was only relevant in those patients with a LVEF below 30%. These data suggest that the mortality risk of CSA patients with HF depends substantially on the severity of HF.
These results are supported by data from the FACE trial, a prospective cohort of unselected HF patients with dierent severity of le ventricular impairment. Based on cluster analyses, six clinical phenotypes were described. The groups diered according to LVEF, whether they had OSA or CSA, age, comorbidities and treatment acceptance of ASV. The risk for the combined primary end-point of mortality, hospitalisation, cardiac transplantation, and implantation of ventricular assist device was significantly increased in the cluster of male patients with low LVEF and CSA. The eect was independent of the treatment with ASV.
These findings indicate that a stratification of the CSA population regarding the severity of le ventricular impairment is crucial and may be an important step in a therapeutic algorithm.
Pathophysiological risk factors
The apnoea threshold, the chemoresponsiveness and the loop gain of the respiratory system characterise the pathophysiology of CSA (see chapter 3.2 ‘Pathophysiology of central sleep apnoea’). The loop gain describes the extent of the ventilatory response to a given disturbance. A high loop gain is defined by a long apnoea period associated with a high ventilatory overshoot (amplitude of ventilation). This constellation (long apnoeic period, severe hyperventilation) indicates poor treatment response, while a low loop gain (short apnoeic period, mild hyperventilation) is associated with a better

response to oxygen or PAP therapy. In addition, the exercise oscillatory ventilation can help in identifying the instability of respiration. It is characterised by a high variability of the V’E during exercise tests. The exercise oscillatory ventilation is a common pattern of HF and an indicator of poor prognosis.
In addition, chemosensitivity to hypoxia and hypercapnia is associated with outcome of HF patients with a reduced LVEF. Patients with increased hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) and hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) show a significantly worse outcome compared to those with either increased HVR or HCVR or to those with normal HVR and HCVR. All these data indicate that instability of the respiratory system is at least a marker of poor prognosis. These data on the relevance of instability of respiration are in line with findings from SERVE-HF and FACE showing increased mortality in those patients with higher amounts of CSR (which describes the PSG finding of periodic breathing in patients with HF).
Lung mechanics in CSA
The ventilatory cycle of inspiration and expiration is accompanied by changes of intrathoracic volume and pressure. Two patterns of the end-expiratory lung volume have been discriminated in patients with periodic breathing and CSA. The positive pattern is defined by an end-expiratory lung volume exceeding FRC, while the negative pattern is characterised by a lower end-expiratory lung volume compared to FRC (see chapter 3.2 ‘Pathophysiology of central sleep apnoea’). The negative pattern is associated with longer hyperpnoea and cycling time, higher N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide as a marker of impaired le ventricular function and worse New York Heart Association classes. It has been hypothesised that the positive expiratory pressure might support stroke volume in patients with worse cardiac function.
Hypoxia as a biomarker
There is growing evidence in OSA that the number of breathing disturbances during sleep is less relevant to the outcome of patients compared to associated symptoms (such as sleepiness) or consequences (such as oxygen desaturation). Several parameters are used to describe the behaviour of oxygen saturation during sleep. These include the index of desaturations by 3% or 4% during total sleep time, the amount of time with oxygen saturation <90%, and the time with oxygen desaturation by >4%. These parameters are oen summarised under the term of hypoxic burden. Although the optimal parameter describing the hypoxaemic burden is as yet unclear, more and more data show the prognostic relevance of hypoxia during sleep.
Summary
Emerging evidence shows a heterogeneity in clinical presentation and patient characteristics, not only in OSA but also in CSA and periodic breathing. Patients dier in terms of the severity of le ventricular impairment. Severely reduced LVEF seems to be the most relevant risk factor for unfavourable outcome in CSA patients. In addition, the instability of ventilation seems to have a major prognostic relevance. Several biomarkers indicate the grade of instability, including the loop gain, the chemoresponsiveness and the exercise oscillatory pattern. Mechanical influences like the end-expiratory lung volume as well as hypoxic burden require further evaluation and discussion.

chronic heart failure
Winfried Randerath
Central breathing disturbances are a frequent symptom in patients with HF with reduced and preserved le ventricular function. The decision to treat depends on clinical symptoms on the one hand and prognostic relevance on the other. It has been discussed that HF patients with CSA oen do not report typical sleep apnoea symptoms, such as daytime sleepiness (see chapter 9.1, ‘Prognostic impact of central sleep apnoea’). Other problems, such as reduced quality of life, disturbed sleep and nocturia, may be more prominent. Moreover, for some patients the symptoms of the underlying heart disease can be more limiting so that symptoms of breathing disturbances may be ignored. Thus, clinicians should be urged towards a detailed questioning of patients and relatives.
There is growing evidence, mainly from long-term observations of cohorts, suggesting reduced survival in HF patients with central breathing disturbances compared to those with regular breathing. A European Respiratory Society (ERS) task force recommended an approach to patients with CSA and chronic HF. It is based on the optimisation of the underlying disease, the dierentiation of OSA and CSA, the level of le ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the clinical symptomatology (figure 1).
Key points
• Optimisation of the underlying HF is a precondition to any additional specific treatment.
• Symptomatic approaches include oxygen supply, PAP treatment and pharmacological agents. They interact with dierent components of the underlying pathophysiology.
• Oxygen and CPAP reduce central breathing disturbances in HF by a mean of 50%. PAP stabilises peripheral airways, improves ventilation–perfusion mismatch and gas exchange and influences fluid accumulation and cardiac function.
• ASV counterbalances ventilatory over- and undershoot of periodic breathing. It most eectively normalises central breathing disturbances.
• Current limitations of the prescription of ASV have to be respected but are under discussion.
• There is no evidence for the use of BPAP in spontaneous/timed or timed mode or NIV.
