Abstract:
We reported a case of severe preeclampsia presented with chest tightness, dyspnea and pink foam sputum after cesarean section. The patient was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) with acute left heart failure based on her physical examination, medical history and polysomnogram. Symptoms of heart failure were relieved after continuous positive airway pressure ventilation.
