TL;DR: Acute improvement of pulmonary congestion by GTN had no immediate impact on CSR severity, and future investigations must therefore include longer treatment periods and treatment regimens that have positive, rather than negative, additional effects on peripheral and central chemoreceptors and sleep structure.
Abstract: Background: Studies confirmed Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) to be associated with elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in chronic heart failure (CHF). This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of lowering PCWP and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) on CSR severity. Methods: 21 consecutive patients with CHF and CSR (apnea-hypopnea-index (AHI≥15/h)) underwent right heart catheterization, followed by infusion of glyceryltrinitrate (GTN), and inhalation of iloprost. Throughout the procedure PAP and PCWP was measured invasively. Afterwards maximum tolerable dosage of GTN and iloprost were randomly applied in 2 split-night procedures versus i.v. or inhalative NaCl 0.9% under full polysomnography monitoring. Results: Mean (m)PAP was significantly reduced by GTN (20.1±9.0 to 11.6±4.2mmHg, p Conclusion: GTN and Iloprost led to a significant reduction in PAP, whereas PCWP was lowered by GTN exclusively. However, acute improvement of pulmonary congestion had no impact on CSR severity. Extended treatment periods appear crucial for successful causal therapies.
