Heart Rhythm, October 2017
Conclusion SAS has an significant impact on the occurrence of AF For AF therapy (drugs, electrical CV & AF ablation) OSAS is an independent predictive factor of failure The association between OSA and stroke may, in part, be due to the increased incidence of atrial fibrillation Treatment with CPAP has the potential to : reduce or eliminate AF be a complement to AAR drugs or ablation to improve the result of the treatment Implantable devices (ICD++, PM) may be useful in the diagnostic and followup of SAS and AF prevalence in patients with pacing/icd indication Cardiologist should care about sleep apnea in case of AF and particularly failure of AF ablation
