Cardiac rhythm disorders in obstructive sleep apnea.

In conclusion, there are several biological pathways linking OSA and increased cardiac arrhythmogenesis propensity. However, the independent association is derived from observational studies and the direction of the association still needs clarification due to the lack of large clinical trials. This review focuses on the current scientific evidence linking OSA to cardiac rhythm disorders and point out future directions. PMID: 30687538 [PubMed]
