... with adjustments of model parameters. To illustrate the potential of this ratio to quantify flow limitation in a clinical setting, we recorded pneumotachographic airflow and oesophageal pressure in 11 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea during nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation...

...T. Douglas BRADLEY; Ruzena TKACOVA; Michael J. HALL; Shin-ichi ANDO; John S. FLORAS Sleep apnoea in heart failure increases mortality risk, possibly as a result of greater activation of the sympathetic nervous system. In healthy subjects, simulated central apnoeas (holding breath) and obstructive...
