Abstract

Central sleep apnea is characterized by insufficient drive to breathe during sleep and is associated with major comorbidity. There are many forms of central sleep apnea including the classic Cheyne-Stokes breathing pattern, which is relatively common in patients with advanced heart failure. This article focuses on the other forms of central sleep apnea that may occur in conjunction with various medical conditions including brain stem tumors/abnormalities, chronic pain/cancer/drug abuse, congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, insomnia, neuromuscular conditions, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, periodic leg movement disorder, renal failure, and stroke.
