Abstract:
      How to treat chronic heart failure has always been a hot-point in the medical field. Medications are always the main measure in the treatment of heart failure to improve clinical symptoms and control the process. However, even though the new anti-heart failure drugs are created continuously, and the anti-heart failure therapy is gradually improved, the clinical observation found that heart failure is still having very poor prognosis, with a high prevalence. In recent years, studies showed that there is obvious association of repeated intermittent hypoxia in the whole night resulting from sleep disorder breathing disease (SDBD), with the cardiovascular diseases. The researches showed that SDBD complicated heart failure patients had significantly improved prognosis after SDBD was well controlled by noninvasive assisted ventilation. This article mainly reviewed the research progress in noninvasive assisted ventilation as a non-drug therapy for chronic heart failure.
