A clinical case of a patient with heart rhythm and conduction disorder, and uncontrolled arterial hypertension is described. Severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome was found by cardiopulmonary monitoring. Combined treatment (medication + CPAP-therapy) enabled the achievement of goal blood pressure and lipid levels. No heart rhythm and conduction disorders were found by the control Holter ECG monitoring. As a result, almost 10-fold reduction of the calculated ten-year risk of myocardial infarction in PROCAM was achieved.
