Increased sympathetic activation in patients with heart failure (HF) and sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) provokes cardiac decompensation and protein degradation and could lead to muscle wasting and muscle weakness. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in body composition, muscle function, and the susceptibility of preclinical congestion among patients with HF and SDB compared with those without SDB.
