Heart rate response to transient hypoxia in patients with heart failure and Cheyne–Stokes respiration Open
Cheyne–Stokes respiration (CSR), a rhythmic rise and fall in ventilation often experienced by patients with heart failure during sleep, is typically accompanied by an oscillation in heart rate (HR) at the same frequency. The mechanisms res…
