Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent complete and partial upper
airway obstructive events, resulting in intermittent hypoxemia, autonomic fluctuation, and …

Sleep disordered breathing causes repetitive episodes of nocturnal hypoxemia, sympathetic
nervous activation, and cortical arousal, often associated with excessive daytime sleepiness …

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing in prevalence and is associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. The optimal diagnostic and treatment strategies for AF are …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in humans and
is a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Despite its prevalence, our mechanistic …

Objectives: This study sought to determine night-to-night variability in the severity of sleep-
disordered breathing (SDB) and the dynamic intraindividual relationship to daily risk of …

AF is a heterogeneous rhythm disorder that is related to a wide spectrum of etiologies and
has broad clinical presentations. Mechanisms underlying AF are complex and remain …

Atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, are common in patients with
pulmonary hypertension and are closely associated with clinical decompensation and poor …

In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the prevalence of moderate-to-severe sleep-disordered
breathing (SDB) ranges between 21% and 72% and observational studies have …

Rhythm control of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients represents a challenge for the
modern interventional cardiac electrophysiologist; as a matter of fact, there is still divergence …

Background Observational studies report that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated
with an increasingly remodeled atrial substrate in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact …
