TI  - Sleep disordered breathing is associated with appropriate implantable 
      cardioverter defibrillator therapy in congestive heart failure patients.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are increasingly 
      employed in patients affected by congestive heart failure (CHF) and sleep 
      disordered breathing (SDB) is frequent in this population. HYPOTHESIS: To 
      investigate SDB prevalence and influence on appropriate ICD discharges in CHF 
      patients. METHODS: A total of 22 consecutive ICD patients with systolic CHF (left 
      ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF]< 45%) were studied by polysomnography. 
      RESULTS: A total of 17 (77.2%) showed SDB (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI]_ 10 
      events/hour). After controlling for LVEF and New York Heart Association (NYHA) 
      class, AHI and severity of hypoxia during sleep results correlated to appropriate 
      ICD discharges (r = 0.718; P < .001, r = - 0.619; P = .003, respectively). 
      CONCLUSIONS: Sleep disordered breathing is frequent in ICD recipients due to left 
      systolic ventricular dysfunction and may increase the risk of ventricular 
      arrhythmia and appropriate ICD discharges.
