What is Primary Central Sleep Apnea about?

Primary central sleep apnea (CSA) is a condition where no specific etiology can be identified for the recurrent central apneas (CAs) occurring during sleep. Primary or idiopathic CSA is a diagnosis of exclusion, where inadequate efforts to determine the underlying cause for CSA may lead to an incorrect diagnosis. The underlying pathophysiology may be related to chronic hyperventilation with increased chemoresponsiveness. The prevalence and natural history remain unclear. Therapy with positive airway pressure, oxygen, acetazolamide and transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation have been attempted to alleviate the condition.
