Atrial fibrillation in obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract: Background-The mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF) induced by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are not completely understood. This study investigated the roles of the intrinsic and extrinsic cardiac autonomic nervous system in OSA-induced AF and provided noninvasive autonomic nervous modulation for the suppression of OSA-induced AF by using low-level transcutaneous electrical stimulation (LL-TS) of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve at the tragus.

“…Polymorphisms in ARDB1 are associated with differences in resting hemodynamics and response to positive airway pressure therapy in those with OSA 21,22 and also track with a higher prevalence of OSA in hypertensive individuals. 23 Our findings provide additional support for a link between OSA and ADRB1 polymorphisms.…”

“…The growing prevalence of obesity and the increasing population body mass index has created major public health challenges [11] . Obstructive sleep apnea has been independently linked with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, cardiac disease, worsening of diabetes, insulin resistance, peri-operative and postoperative complications and coronary artery disease (CAD), to name the few [12][13][14][15][16] .…”
