DOI: 10.1007/s00392-018-1269-4
Abstract: BackgroundCardiac arrhythmias and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are common comorbidities in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, understanding of the association between arrhythmias and SDB is poor. This study assessed the occurrence and circadian… read more here.
