Elucidation of the Risk of Sleep Apnea in Atrial Fibrillation
Relationships of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF)
will be investigated to fill in the following existing gaps: clarify the extent to which the
length of respiratory events, apnea subtype (obstructive versus central), and hypoxia
serve as triggers of AF; examine effects of SDB-related autonomic modulation in AF
provocation; identify the extent to which cardiac morphology and pathways of
inflammation modulate the SDB-AF relationship. This information, collected in a group
of individuals with AF who are at high risk for complications including stroke, heart
failure and death, is key for developing new strategies to reduce the morbidity and
mortality of these conditions.
