We tested the hypotheses that in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and sleep
disordered breathing (SDB) auto-servoventilation (ASV) improves cardiac function and quality of …

RATIONALE: There is evidence that endothelin plays a key role in the development of pulmonary
hypertension (PH) in pulmonary fibrosis (PF). However, the functional consequence of …

Background: The 6-min walk distance (6-MWD) is a global marker of functional capacity and
