The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the effect of continues positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and concomitant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The primary endpoint is left ventricular function measured by magnetic resonance (improvement of at least 4%) after six months treatment with CPAP. The secondary endpoints include diastolic dysfunction, cardiovascular biomarkers and quality of life.
