AB  - PURPOSE: Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) is a known controversial prognostic 
      marker in patients with heart failure (HF). Little is known, moreover, about the 
      development and progress of CSR in such patients. The CSR progress over time may 
      be indicative for clinical deterioration in patients with HF disease METHODS: 
      Prospective cohort sleep studies, with algorithm-based analyses of continuously 
      or periodically monitored changes over time using standard pulse oximeter. Home 
      testing for 4 months of patients recruited from the cardiology department of a 
      large community medical center in Haifa, Israel. A total of 36 patients, 31 men 
      and five women, aged between 50 and 74 years, with symptomatic chronic HF. 
      RESULTS: Out of the 36 patients, 15 (42%) patients were found to have CSR. The 
      CSR cycle length was chosen as the characteristic parameter which determines the 
      periodicity of the event and its length. Analyses of CSR cycle length and 
      duration in the 15 patients showed changes over time in the length of the CSR 
      event only in patient with New York Heart Association (NYHA) 4 classification. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Nocturnal CSR in patients with HF show small variations over time in 
      the prevalence or duration of the cycle length and could be a marker for entering 
      stage 4 or deterioration in the NYHA class of HF patient. Moreover, it may take 
      years for HF patients to develop CSR or to increase the length of the cycle 
      length of existing CSR, if they develop it at all.
