Key result
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome shares a bidirectional relationship with atrial fibrillation, and CPAP therapy plays a role in the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Why the study?
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation both increase with age and carry a significant risk of cardiovascular complications.
Does CPAP therapy improve the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome?
Does CPAP therapy improve the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome?
This review emphasizes the bidirectional relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation, highlighting the potential role of CPAP therapy in AF management.
Highlights . The data regarding the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation were analyzed. Abstract . The review article presents current data on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation. The spread of these pathological processes increases with age and is associated with a significant risk of cardiovascular complications. In this regard, this review seems to be quite relevant. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms influencing the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation are discussed. The role of CPAP therapy - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation is highlighted.
