A case report of an improvement in premature ventricular complex-induced cardiomyopathy following continuous positive airway pressure therapy in a patient with severe obstructive sleep apnoea.

Using CPAP therapy for the treatment of his OSA, we could improve his PIC in accordance with a reduction in frequent PVCs without ablation of the PVCs. Only ablation without CPAP therapy may not be able to completely treat PIC associated with OSA, as in the present case. Thus, physicians should be aware of the possibility of PVCs associated with OSA when examining patients with PVCs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of improvement in PIC following CPAP therapy in a patient with severe OSA. Future investigations should focus on whether CPAP therapy can improve PIC associated with OSA and prevent a progression to heart failure and also result in an improvement in the prognosis.
