CARDIAC-FAILURE, SNORING, VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS AND NASAL BILEVEL POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION 3rd International Conference on Sleep and Breathing Guilleminault, C., Stoohs, R., LABANOWSKI, M., Simmons, J., Clerk, A. AMER SLEEP DISORDERS ASSOC. 1993: S139–S140
Abstract

Nasal bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), however, may help alleviate the breathing problem and eliminate sleep-related arrhythmias.
