The variability and burden of severe sleep apnea and the relationship with atrial fibrillation occurrence: analysis of pacemaker-detected sleep apnea.

Sleep Breath

Center of Arrhythmia, Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Beilishi Road 167#, Xicheng Qu, Beijing, 100037, China.

Study Objectives: This was a pilot study to evaluate the long-term variability and burden of respiratory disturbance index (RDI) detected by pacemaker and to investigate the relationship between RDI and atrial fibrillation (AF) event in patients with pacemakers.

Methods: This was a prospective study enrolling patients implanted with a pacemaker that could calculate the night-to-night RDI. The mean follow-up was 348 ± 34 days.

Background: Sleep apnea (SA) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Advanced pacemakers are now able to calculate indexes of SA severity.

Hypothesis: We investigated the changes in pacemaker-measured indexes of SA, we assessed their predictive value for AF occurrence and the associated risk of stroke and death at long-term.

Aims: Sleep apnea (SA) diagnosed on overnight polysomnography is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Advanced pacemakers are now able to monitor intrathoracic impedance for automatic detection of SA events.

Methods And Results: We enrolled 160 consecutive recipients of a dual-chamber pacemaker endowed with the ApneaScan algorithm (Boston Scientific).
