ICD-11 7A40.3 — Central sleep apnoea due to a medical condition with Cheyne-Stokes breathing
Central sleep apnoea due to a medical condition with Cheyne-Stokes breathing is characterised by recurrent, predominantly central apnoeas or central hypopneas (more than five per hour) alternating with a respiratory phase exhibiting a crescendo-decrescendo pattern of flow (or tidal volume) that are attributed to a medical condition. The longer cycle length (> 40 seconds) distinguishes Central sleep apnoea with Cheyne-Stokes breathing from other central sleep apnoea types. The vast majority of patients with Central sleep apnoea due to a medical condition with Cheyne-Stokes breathing have either systolic or diastolic heart failure. Patients with Central sleep apnoea due to a medical condition with Cheyne-Stokes breathing have normal or low daytime arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The disturbance is typically associated with atrial fibrillation/flutter, congestive heart failure, or a neurological disorder and is sufficiently severe to cause symptoms such as daytime sleepiness, disturbed sleep, awakening with dyspnoea, or snoring.Note: A definitive diagnosis requires objective evidence based on polysomnography in the presence of a medical condition that is judged to be causing the symptoms.
