Background: Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is often associated with central sleep apnea (CSA), which exacerbates cardiovascular strain and impacts quality of life. In ADHF patients, CSA contributes to recurrent nocturnal oxygen desaturation, elevated apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and frequent Cheyne-Stokes respiration episodes, increasing h...

Background
Central sleep apnea (CSA) significantly impacts cardiovascular health, linking it to left atrial enlargement, atrial fibrillation, and impaired cardiac function in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF). However, the relationship between CSA and left atrial size in individuals with preserved EF remains underexplored....
