Severe bradyarrhythmias in patients with sleep apnoea: the effect of continuous positive airway pressure treatment. A long-term evaluation using an insertable loop recorder

In this new era of insertable loop recorders, we studied obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) patients in order to evaluate their arrhythmias and the beneficial effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure treatment (CPAP), over a long-term period. We enrolled 23 patients (16 men, 50...

description In this new era of insertable loop recorders, we studied obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) patients in order to evaluate their arrhythmias and the beneficial effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure treatment (CPAP), over a long-term period. We enrolled 23 patients (16 men, 50 +/- 11 years) with moderate and severe OSAHS. In all patients, an insertable loop recorder capable of monitoring the heart rhythm for 16 months was implanted. Cardiac pauses >3 s and bradycardic episodes
