Article Synopsis
- Sleep apnea (SA) and both subjective (SSD) and objective sleep durations (OSD) are linked to atrial fibrillation (AF), but their combined effects and the discrepancies between SSD and OSD haven't been thoroughly examined.
- A study using polysomnography and actigraphy found that a significant portion of participants had moderate-to-severe SA and that those with longer OSD had fewer hours of SSD, potentially indicating poor sleep quality.
- Findings revealed that those with higher SA severity and longer OSD were more likely to experience AF recurrence, suggesting that long exposure to oxygen fluctuations during sleep contributes to this risk.
