Zusammenfassung

Background: In patients (pts) with congestive heart failure (CHF) Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) is an independent predictor for malignant arrhythmias. Aim of this study was to investigate, whether treatment of CSR by Adaptive Servoventilation (ASV) reduces the risk of malignant arrhythmic events in pts with CHF and CSR. Methods: Of 403 pts. with CHF (LVEF ≤45%, NYHA-class ≥2) and implanted CRT-D or ICD device, 221 pts presented with mild or no CSR (Apnea-Hypopnea-Index (AHI)
