A 62-year-old man presented with obstructive sleep apnea, congestive heart failure and Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure corrected the obstructive sleep apnea and associated clinical features. The cardiopulmonary interactions between sleep apnea and aortic dissection are discussed
