title: [Effect of nasal positive pressure ventilation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (NYHA III-IV)].
abstract: 5 patients suffering from dilatative cardiomyopathy (NYHA III-IV) were investigated by polysomnography, haemodynamics and CPAP-BIPAP-breathing. In 4 patients IPAP-breathing with 6 cm H2O resulted in better haemodynamics.
