ABSTRACT
Adaptive servo ventilation (ASV) has been developed as one form of the noninvasive positive pressure ventilation specifically for treating Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) in patients with chronic heart failure. It was reported that in such patients, ASV suppressed sleep-disordered breathing, including both CSR and obstructive sleep apnea, and improved underlying cardiac dysfunction. Therefore ASV is now globally used as an important option of heart-failure therapy in the cardiology field. Recently, ASV is also applied to treatments of patients under various conditions and situations. We describe herein the details of ASV, reported beneficial effects, and potentials of ASV.
