Key result
Obstructive sleep apnea reduces the effectiveness of atrial fibrillation treatments, while CPAP therapy improves outcomes of catheter treatment for AF in the early postoperative period.
Why the study?
To review the mutual influence and clinical connection between atrial fibrillation and obstructive sleep apnea.
Does CPAP-therapy improve the results of catheter treatment of AF in individuals with a combination of atrial fibrillation and obstructive sleep apnea?

Treating obstructive sleep apnea with CPAP therapy improves early postoperative outcomes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
The review discusses the issue of the mutual influence of combination of atrial fibrillation (AF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In individuals with a combination of these pathologies, OSA can influence the easier realization of AF. The presence of respiratory disturbances in sleep reduces the effectiveness of all types of AF treatment (antiarrhythmic, surgical, electrical cardioversion). It is shown, that the treatment of OSA by the method of non-invasive ventilation support (CPAP-therapy) improves the results of catheter treatment of AF in the early postoperative period.

Arutyunyan et al. (2018) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation and obstructive sleep apnea. CPAP-therapy was evaluated. Obstructive sleep apnea reduces the effectiveness of atrial fibrillation treatments, while CPAP therapy improves outcomes of catheter treatment for AF in the early postoperative period.
