RESUMEN
Sleep-disordered breathing is one of the complications commonly seen in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) due to multiple causes including complex underlying cardiac defects, cardiomegaly, previous thoracotomies, obesity, scoliosis, and paralysis of the diaphragm. It is often hard to determine its main cause and predict the efficacy of each treatment in its management. We herein report a 30-year-old woman after biventricular repair of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum diagnosed as sleep-related hypoventilation disorder. Simultaneous treatment targeting obesity, paralysis of the diaphragm, and cardiomegaly followed by respiratory muscle reinforcement through non-invasive ventilation resolved her sleep-related hypoventilation disorder. Such management for each factor responsible for the hypoventilation is expected to provide synergetic therapeutic efficacy and increase daily activity in a patient with ACHD.
