Acute Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Pulse Pressure in Chronic Heart Failure

Abstract: Background Patients with heart failure (HF) have left ventricular dysfunction and reduced mean arterial pressure (MAP). Increased adrenergic drive causes vasoconstriction and vessel resistance maintaining MAP, while increasing peripheral vascular resistance and conduit vessel stiffness. Increased pulse pressure (PP) reflects a complex interaction of the heart with the arterial and venous systems. Increased PP is an important risk marker in patients with chronic HF (CHF). Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been… Show more

“…Another issue requiring further study is the ideal positive pressure to promote increased exercise tolerance. Some authors advocate a CPAP value of 10 cmH 2 O 37 because it promotes alveolar recruitment and effective gas exchange, whilst others advocate smaller values, namely 6 cmH 2 O or the value best tolerated by patients 4 , 38 because a significant improvement in cardiac output is shown with low levels of CPAP.…”
