- Millionen von Patienten weltweit leiden an CHF
- In den Vereinigten Staaten litten 2006 schätzungsweise 5.700.000 Menschen an kongestiver Herzinsuffizienz1, Frauen und Männer zu gleichen Anteilen, wobei jährlich 550.000 neue Fälle diagnostiziert werden. Betroffen sind somit mittlerweile fast 10 von 1000 Menschen über 65 Jahre.
- In Europa litten 1997 ca. 6.500.000 Menschen an Herzinsuffizienz und jährlich wurden 580.000 neue Fälle diagnostiziert.2 Konsolidierten Daten für westliche Staaten zufolge wird jährlich bei 1-4 Bewohner von Tausend eine kongestive Herzinsuffizienz festgestellt.3
- Etwa 50 % aller Herzinsuffizienzpatienten leiden an schlafbezogenen Atemstörungen4, wobei normalerweise entweder die Cheyne-Stokes-Atmung (CSA) oder die obstruktive Schlafapnoe (OSA) überwiegen, oftmals aber auch beide Formen zusammen auftreten. CSA wird gemeinhin als die häufigste Form der schlafbezogenen Atemstörung bei Patienten mit schweren linksventrikulären Funktionsstörungen angesehen.5
