BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate nocturia severity and nocturia-related differences in sleep, daytime symptoms and functional performance among patients with stable heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS: In this cross-sectional observational study, we recruited 173 patients [mean age 60.3 ± 16.8 years; female n = 60 (35%); mean left ventricular ejection fraction 32 ± 14.6%] with stable chronic HF from HF disease management programs in the northeastern United States. Participants reported nocturia and completed a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), 1 night of ambulatory polysomnography, and the SF-36 Medical Outcomes Study, Epworth Sleepiness, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue, and Centers for the Epidemiological Studies of Depression scales. Participants reported 0 (n = 30; 17.3%), 1-2 (n = 87; 50.2%), and ≥3 (n = 56; 32.4%) nightly episodes of nocturia. There were decreases in sleep duration and efficiency, REM and stage 3-4 sleep, physical function, and 6MWT distance and increases in the percentage of wake time after sleep onset, insomnia symptoms, fatigue, and sleepiness across levels of nocturia severity. CONCLUSIONS: Nocturia is common, severe, and closely associated with decrements in sleep and functional performance and increases in fatigue and sleepiness in patients with stable HF.
