Abstrakt: Background: Sleep-disordered breathing is highly prevalent in heart failure (HF) and has been suggested as a risk factor for malignant ventricular arrhythmias. The Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) computed by an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) algorithm accurately identifies severe sleep apnea.
Objectives: In the present analysis, the authors evaluated the association between ICD-detected sleep apnea and the incidence of appropriate ICD therapies in patients with HF.
Methods: We enrolled 411 HF patients who had received an ICD endowed with an algorithm that calculates the RDI each night. In this analysis, the weekly mean RDI value was considered. The endpoint was the first appropriate ICD shock.
Results: The median follow-up was 26 months (25th to 75th percentile: 16-35 months). During follow-up, 1 or more ICD shocks were documented in 58 (14%) patients. Patients with shocks were younger (age 66 ± 13 years vs 70 ± 10 years; P = 0.038), and had more frequently undergone implantation for secondary prevention (21% vs 10%; P = 0.026). The maximum RDI value calculated during the entire follow-up period did not differ between patients with and without shocks (55 ± 15 episodes/h vs 54 ± 14 episodes/h; P = 0.539). However, the ICD-detected RDI showed considerable variability during follow-up. The overall median of the weekly RDI was 33 episodes/h (25th to 75th percentile: 24-45 episodes/h). A time-dependent Cox regression model revealed that a continuously measured weekly mean RDI of ≥45 episodes/h was independently associated with shock occurrence (HR: 4.63; 95% CI: 2.54-8.43; P < 0.001), after correction for baseline confounders (age, secondary prevention).
Conclusions: In HF patients, appropriate ICD shocks were more likely to be delivered during periods when patients exhibited more sleep-disordered breathing. (Arrhythmias Detection in a Real World Population [RHYTHM DETECT]; NCT02275637).
