Medically stable for 30 days prior to all baseline testing (including PSG), i.e., no hospitalizations for illness, no breathing mask-based therapy, and on stable medications and therapies:~   * Stable medications are defined as no changes during this period except for those within a pre-specified sliding scale medication regimen;~  * If the subject has heart failure, the baseline testing (including PSG) should occur at least 6 months after initial diagnosis;~  * If the subject has systolic heart failure, the baseline testing (including PSG) should occur after maximally titrating beta blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and other medications indicated in the current guidelines (unless contraindicated or not considered medically necessary) and after receiving any indicated device therapy including devices for cardiac resynchronization therapy and/or primary prevention of sudden cardiac death;~  * If subject has a hospitalization or physician visit requiring IV medication between the screening PSG and implant, the subject must be re-screened when stable~4. Expected to tolerate study procedures in the opinion of the investigator, in particular:~   * Ability to lie down long enough to insert the remede system without shortness of breath and able to tolerate instrumentation for the Polysomnogram/Polygram testing;~  * Expected to tolerate therapy titration and the sensation of therapy, and communicate therapy experience.~5. In the investigator's opinion, willing and able to comply with all study requirements~6. Signed the Institutional Review Board/Medical Ethics Committee approved informed consent (HIPAA authorization in the U.S.)~Exclusion Criteria:~1. Pacemaker dependent subjects without any physiologic escape rhythm~2. Suspected inability to place catheter for delivery of stimulation lead (e.g. previously know coagulopathy, distorted anatomy, prior failed pectoral implant, etc.)~3. Evidence of phrenic nerve palsy~4. More than 2 previous open chest surgical procedures (e.g., CABG)~5. Etiology of central sleep apnea known to be caused primarily by pain medication~6. Documented history of psychosis or severe bipolar disorder~7. Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 12 months of baseline testing~8. History of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, World Health Organization Class 1~9. Limited pulmonary function with either forced expiratory volume (FEV) 1/forced vital capacity (FVC) less than 65% of predicted value or FVC less than 60% of predicted value~10. Baseline oxygen saturation less than 92% while awake and on room air after 5 minutes of quiet rest~11. Anticipated need for chronic oxygen therapy or breathing mask-based therapy for 6 months post therapy initiation visit~12. Active infection or sepsis within 30 days of enrollment~13. Currently on renal dialysis or creatinine level greater than 2.5 mg/dL or calculated creatinine clearance equal to or less than 30 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation~14. Poor liver function with baseline aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and/or total bilirubin greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal (per lab normals at each site)~15. Hemoglobin less than 8 gm/dL~16. In subjects with heart failure, American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association Heart (AHA) Stage D~17. Within the 3 months prior to baseline testing, any of the following: uncorrected severe valvular stenosis, valve replacement or repair (percutaneous or surgical), myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), cardiac ablation, new cardiac resynchronization device or new pacemaker implant~18. New implantable cardioverter defibrillator or any implantable device generator change-out within 30 days prior to baseline testing or anticipated within the first 6 months of enrollment~19. Other anticipated surgery or invasive procedure expected to affect ability to perform testing at 6-month post-therapy initiation visit~20. Unstable angina~21. Allergy to or intolerant of contrast dye~22. Pregnancy or of child bearing potential without a negative pregnancy test within 10 days prior to remede system implant~23. Life expectancy or expected time to transplant or left ventricular assist device of less than 12 months~24. Currently enrolled or planning to enroll in another study that may conflict with protocol requirements or confound subject results in this trial

- Gender: ALL
- Minimum Age: 18 Years
- Maximum Age: None
- Healthy Volunteers: f

Study Arms:
- Treatment Group (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Subjects implanted with the remedē system device and randomized to the Treatment group will receive optimal medical therapy and have the remedē system initiated to deliver transvenous stimulation of the phrenic nerve at the Therapy Initiation Visit (1 month post device implant).
- Control group (Type: OTHER): Subjects implanted with the remedē system device and randomized to the Control group will receive optimal medical therapy through the 6-month Post-Therapy Initiation Visit. Control group subjects will have the remedē system initiated to deliver transvenous stimulation of the phrenic nerve at the 6-month Post-Therapy Initiation Visit (7 months post device implant).

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
