Autonomic modulation mitigates AF development and recurrence driven by OSA-induced autonomic dysfunction.
This review highlights the critical role of autonomic dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea as a driver of atrial fibrillation and outlines therapeutic strategies to modulate it.
Autonomic modulation strategies merit prospective trials in OSA-related AF; leaves open whether they improve outcomes in practice.

Agaltsov et al. (2022) conducted a review in Obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. Autonomic modulation (CPAP, risk factor modification, drug therapy, interventional techniques) was evaluated. Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction during obstructive sleep apnea is a leading factor in the development and recurrence of atrial fibrillation, which can be mitigated by autonomic modulation.
