Association between hypoxemia and quality of life in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and sleep-disordered breathing.

ABSTRACT: Sleep-disordered breathing is common among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and might impact their quality of life due to nighttime hypoxemia and awakenings. However, the factors contributing to deterioration in quality of life remain unclear. This study investigated the factors associated with quality of life deterioration in patients with HFpEF and sleep-disordered breathing. This prospective cross-sectional study included inpatients with HFpEF (left ventricular ejection fraction of ≥ 50%). Sleep-disordered breathing and quality of life were evaluated using polysomnography and the Short Form-8 Health Survey, respectively. The patients were grouped based on thei median physical and mental component summary Short Form-8 Health Survey scores. Among the 3
