Abstract

Recent studies have suggested that there is a strong relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, they have not identified whether treating OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) might reduce rates of recurrent AF. To investigate the recurrent risk of AF after catheter ablation among patients with OSA who did receive or did nor receive CPAP therapy. A systematic review of PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wan-fang databases was conducted to obtain relevant cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Study characteristics of AF patients were extracted, and their recurrent outcomes were recorded. A meta-analysis was then conducted using Review Manager software, version 5.3. In total, seven eligible cohort studies and three randomized controlled trials involving 1217 participants with AF after catheter ablation were included. These participants were divided into a CPAP group (n = 619, 50.86%) and non-CPAP group (n = 598, 49.14%). After a mean follow-up of 16.33 ± 10.34 months, 408 patients (33.52%) experienced recurrent AF, and the recurrence rate differed between the CPAP and non-CPAP groups (24.88% vs...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
