Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Patients must be at least 22 years old

- Chronic heart failure (at least 12 weeks since diagnosis) according to the current
applicable guidelines (ESC, ACC/AHA)

- Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF =45% by imaging method such as
echocardiography, radionuclide angiography, left ventriculography, or cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging) documented less than 12 weeks before randomisation

- NYHA class III or IV at the time of inclusion or NYHA class II with at least one
hospitalisation for HF in the last 24 months

- No hospitalisation for heart failure for at least 4 weeks prior to inclusion

- Optimised medical treatment according to applicable guidelines with no new class of
disease modifying drug for more than 4 weeks prior to randomisation. In case of no
beta blockers or ACE (angiotensin converting Enzyme) inhibitors/ ARB (angiotensin
receptor blocker) antagonists the reasons must be documented

- SDB (AHI > 15/h with = 50% central events and a central AHI = 10/h, derived from
polygraphy or polysomnography (based on total recording time (TRT)), documented less
than 4 weeks before randomisation. Flow measurement has to be performed with nasal
cannula

- Patients for whom the use of AutoSet CS2 (TM)/VPAP Adapt may be contra-indicated
because of symptomatic hypotension or significant intravascular volume depletion or
pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum

- Patient is able to fully understand study information and signed informed consent
Minimum age

weeks before randomisation

- Oxygen saturation at rest during the day = 90% at inclusion

- Current use of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) - therapy

- Life expectancy < 1 year for diseases unrelated to chronic HF

- Cardiac surgery, Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Myocardial Infarction (MI)
or unstable angina within 6 months prior to randomisation

- CRT (cardiac resynchronisation therapy)-implantation or ICD-implantation scheduled or
within 6 months prior to randomisation

- Transient ischemic attack (TIA) or Stroke within 3 months prior to randomisation

- Primary hemodynamically significant uncorrected valvular heart disease, obstructive or
regurgitant, or any valvular disease expected to lead to surgery during the trial

- Acute myocarditis/pericarditis within 6 months prior to randomisation

- Untreated or therapy refractory Restless legs-Syndrome (RLS) according to criteria
listed in Appendix IX at the time of study entry

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the long-term effects and cost-effectiveness of
adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) on the mortality and morbidity of patients with stable heart
failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction, already receiving optimal medical
therapy, who have sleep disordered breathing (SDB) that is predominantly central sleep apnea.
Assumptions: the intervention reduces the hazard rate by 20%. The event rate in the control
group is 35% in the first year. It is assumed that the hazard rate is constant over time.
