This case explores Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), a breathing pattern common in heart failure and brain injury patients. Using diaphragmatic ultrasound, the study assesses a 74-year-old patient with heart failure exhibiting CSR during sleep. Diaphragmatic excursion patterns reveal the characteristic crescendo-decrescendo pattern of CSR.
