Abstract
A case study of a female patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is presented. The patient had an episode of cardiac decompensation with fluid overload that was associated with deterioration of OSA. Subsequent compensation of fluid overload with a 4 kg decrease in body weight was accompanied by a reduction in nocturnal respiratory events. When cardiac function was fully restored, respiratory parameters returned to initial levels. This case report promotes further research on the question, whether changes in respiratory patterns of OSA can potentially reflect acute changes in cardiac performance and/or heart failure status, even in individual patients.
