The SERVE-HF trial investigated the effects of adding adaptive servo ventilation (ASV) (AutoSet CS, ResMed) vs. guideline-based medical treatment alone on survival and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HFrEF and predominantly CSA. The SERVE-HF trial was an international, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group and event-driven study (clinical trial identifier: NCT00733343). Information about the trial design, procedures, outcomes, and results have been previously reported [5 (link), 6 (link)]. The trial was conducted in accordance with the Good Clinical Practice guidelines and principles of the 2002 Declaration of Helsinki. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained, and all patients signed an informed consent form to participate in the study.
