Abstract: Central sleep apnea and hypoventilation syndromes are increasingly important clinical entities, in part because of their associations with pervasive conditions such as heart failure and obesity. While disruption of ventilatory control appears to contribute to these disorders, much remains unknown about pathophysiologic mechanisms and optimal treatment methods. This chapter explores some of these issues in the context of the most recent research data, and also discusses some less common disorders of ventilatory control that may be encountered by the sleep medicine specialist. |
