Impact of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on Atrial Electromechanical Delay and P‐Wave Dispersion in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

摘要

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been shown to be associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Prolongation of inter‐ and intraatrial conduction times during sinus rhythm has also been shown to be related to AF generation. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment modality of OSA.
