Screening for Sleep Apnea in Patients Undergoing Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Completed

Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Cardiac Arrhythmias

In brief

Diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy has been shown to decrease arrhythmia recurrence in patients with AF following ablation. However, patients with AF undergoing ablation are not routinely screened for sleep apnea, despite an estimated sleep apnea prevalence of 25% in the general population, and perhaps higher among patients with AF. Home sleep testing is frequently used for evaluation of sleep apnea.
