Sleep Apnea and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence

Effect of Sleep Apnea Screening and Treatment on Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence : a Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Mar 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The main aim of this project is to assess the effect of Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) screening (and treatment if SAS is moderate to severe, defined by an apnea hypopnea index \>15 / h) on recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) over a twenty-four month follow-up period, in patients on optimal medical treatment after AF ablation.
