Abstract
Patients with stable cardiac failure who snore may present sleep hypop nea and cardiac arrhythmias. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may worsen the disordered breathing. Nasal bilevel positive ai rway pressure (BiPAP), however, may help alleviate the breathing probl em and eliminate sleep-related arrhythmias.
