Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1) Patients with chronic heart failure are hospitalizing due to heart failure deterioration. 2) Patients in whom the investigator considered that respiratory intervention (such as positive ventilation or oxygen inhalation etc.) is unnecessary or will be unnecessary. 3) Patient with 20 years or older. 4) Patients or proxy providing the written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Patient considered to be not able to measure overnight respiratory (such as rhinostenosis). 2) Patients within three months from the onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). 3) Patients without an independent walking before the hospitalization. 4) Patients having a chronic respiratory failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 5) Patients with a central nervous disorder by stroke or injury. 6) Patients with hemodialysis. 7) Patients whose QOL is limited by malignant tumor or other diseases. 8) Patients who are inability or doubted for an agreement before deterioration of heart failure. 9) Any other patients who are regarded as unsuitable for this study by the investigators.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1)Change of a mean RSI calculated for the overnight respiratory measurement. 2)Change of RSI calculated for the daytime brief respiratory measurement. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change of a median RSI calculated for the overnight respiratory measurement. Change of the mean and a standard deviation of a respiratory cycle, a mean ventilatory frequency, apnea hypopnea index (AHI), 3% oxygen desaturation index (ODI), a mean percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) calculated for the overnight respiratory measurement. Change of the mean and the standard deviation of respiratory cycle, the ventilatory frequency, a mean tidal volume, an end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration (ETCO2) and an end-tidal oxygen concentration (ETO2) calculated for the daytime brief respiratory measurement. | — |
