Atrial fibrillation is a common recurrent arrhythmia affecting approximately 60 million people worldwide. Modern prevention strategies do not significantly reduce the existing burden on healthcare systems related to this condition. Extending the list of risk factors and minimizing their impact remain important objectives of modern medicine.
To assess the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome as a predictor of atrial fibrillation.
Russian and foreign publications were reviewed for up-to-date information on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation. A literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Elsevier, eLibrary, and CyberLeninka databases.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is an independent predictor of atrial fibrillation, the trigger for a recurrence after catheter ablation, and secondary complications. Mechanisms causing atrial fibrillation during episodes of obstructive sleep apnea include intermittent nocturnal hypoxemia/hypercapnia, fluctuating intrathoracic pressure levels, autonomic imbalance, oxidative stress, and inflammation.
Early detection and correction of night apnea episodes using CPAP therapy shall be considered secondary prevention measures for atrial fibrillation.
