Night-time elevation angle in heart failure patients indicates orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea

Journal of Cardiac Failure Aug 17, 2017

Rials SJ, et al. – The use of automated posture sensing in evaluating orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (O-PND) in heart failure (HF) patients, was examined in this current investigation. Findings suggested that orthopnea & PND are key symptoms of heart failure. As per observations, night–time elevation angle was suggestive of these symptoms, presumably mirroring the tendency of patients to sleep partially elevated to avoid dyspnea. Researchers anticipated that monitoring posture in future devices may provide valuable insight for the remote management of heart failure patients.
