A few reports have shown that cardiac valve repair may improve central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with valvular heart disease. It has been suggested that such improvements are associated with the improvement of cardiac function. We report the case of a 67-year-old man with mitral regurgitation, whose CSA converted to predominant obstructive sleep apnea following mitral valvuloplasty in association with a shortening of lung-to-finger circulation time.
有少数报告表明,心脏瓣膜修复术可能改善瓣膜性心脏病患者的中枢性睡眠呼吸暂停(CSA)。有人认为这种改善与心功能的改善有关。我们报告了一例 67 岁男性患者,二尖瓣反流,二尖瓣成形术后 CSA 转为以阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停为主,同时肺至指循环时间缩短。
