TLDR
This randomized, controlled trial aimed to investigate whether acute improvement of pulmonary congestion would reduce the severity of Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) in patients with chronic heart failure.
Abstract
Objectives This randomized, controlled trial aimed to investigate whether acute improvement of pulmonary congestion would reduce the severity of Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).

Pathogenesis of central and complex sleep apnoea

TL;DR: The efficacy of available treatments for CSA can be explained in terms of their effects on loop gain, for example CPAP improves lung volume, stimulants reduce the alveolar‐inspired PCO2 difference and supplemental oxygen lowers chemosensitivity.

TL;DR: ESC guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure have been developed in collaboration with the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC 2012 Task Force for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute and Chronic Heart Failure 2012 as mentioned in this paper.

Continuous positive airway pressure for central sleep apnea and heart failure.

TL;DR: Although CPAP attenuated central sleep apnea, improved nocturnal oxygenation, increased the ejection fraction, lowered norepinephrine levels, and increased the distance walked in six minutes, it did not affect survival and the data do not support the use of CPAP to extend life in patients who have central sleep Apnea and heart failure.
