Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators hypothesize that the airway pressures generated by High Flow Oxygen Therapy could have a beneficial impact in patients with heart failure, particularly by lowering capillary pulmonary arterial pressures. However, results compared to Non-Invasive Ventilation are difficult to predict due to the lack of data in the literature.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators propose to carry out a prospective randomized cross-over prospective physiological study comparing, Non-Invasive Ventilation and High Flow Oxygen Therapy in patients with chronic uncompensated heart failure. This stable population would make it possible to easily study variations in a physiological parameter without any added risk for the patient, but with all the pathophysiological parameters transposable to the situation of decompensated heart failure.

Indeed, it is accepted that the existence of heart failure with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (\< 40%) exposes patients to a high risk of congestive cardiac decompensation due to the associated presence of diastolic dysfunction1.

The study will be conducted using an alternating design, where a patient receives the two treatments one after the other ("cross-over"), because the alternating design, compared to the two parallel arm design, reduces the number of patients needed to show a given difference between High Flow Oxygen Therapy and Non-Invasive Ventilation at equal power, if there is neither an order-of-prescription effect ("period") nor a residual effect of the first treatment on the second treatment ("carry-over"). In order to avoid a residual effect on changes in pressure or oxygenation, a wash-out period on conventional oxygen therapy (O2C) should be set between the two treatments (High Flow Oxygen Therapy and Non-Invasive Ventilation) administered to the same patient.
