Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report a case of supraventricular rhythm disorder occurring as a complication of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in sleep apnea syndrome treatment. The investigations showed a preexisting atrial vulnerability revealed by positive pressure ventilation, hemodynamic changes with decreased cardiac output, and a rise in the right atrial pressure. Such complications may develop further studies to evaluate cardiovascular repercussions of nasal CPAP.
