title: Sleep-disordered breathing, cardiac arrhythmia, and panic disorder.
abstract: Sleep-disordered breathing often presents as a cardiac or psychiatric problem. Such presentation may lead to suboptimal diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. The authors present a case in which a patient's condition improved only after the primary disorder was diagnosed and properly managed.
