Why the study?
Does a high risk profile for obstructive sleep apnoea increase the risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal AF?
Does a high risk profile for obstructive sleep apnoea increase the risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal AF?
A high risk profile for obstructive sleep apnoea does not increase the risk of AF recurrence or complications after catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF, suggesting it should not deter the decision to ablate.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High OSA risk was not associated with AF recurrence after paroxysmal AF ablation; leaves open whether OSA severity or treatment modifies outcomes.
