This is the first study to compare sympathetic activity (measured by overnight urinary norepinephrine) in normal subjects, patients with OSA, and patients with CHF and varying degrees of CHF. Importantly CHF contributes to sympathetic activity to a greater degree than does OSA.

This is the first study to show that the hearts of patients with CSA have greater sympathetic activity than patients without CSA.
