Impact of CPAP on the Atrial Fibrillation Substrate in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The SLEEP-AF Study

BACKGROUNDObservational studies report that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with an increasingly remodeled atrial substrate in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of OSA management on the electrophysiologic substrate has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVESIn this study, the authors...

description BACKGROUNDObservational studies report that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with an increasingly remodeled atrial substrate in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of OSA management on the electrophysiologic substrate has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVESIn this study, the authors sought to determine the impact of OSA management on the atrial substrate in AF. METHODSWe recruited 24 consecutive patients referred for AF management with at least moderate OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] ≥15). Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to commence continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or no therapy (n = 12 CPAP; n = 12 no CPAP). All participants underwent invasive electrophysiologic study (high-density right atrial mapping) at baseline and after a minimum of 6 months. Outcome variables were atrial voltage (mV), conduction velocity (m/s), atrial surface area

Change between groups over time was compared. RESULTSClinical characteristics and electrophysiologic parameters were similar between groups at baseline. Compliance with CPAP therapy was high (device usage: 79% ± 19%; mean usage/day: 268 ± 91 min) and resulted in significant AHI reduction (mean reduction: 31 ± 23 events/h). There were no differences in blood pressure or body mass index between groups over time. At follow-up, the CPAP group had faster conduction velocity (0.86 ± 0.16 m/s vs 0.69 ± 0.12 m/s; P (time × group) = 0.034), significantly higher voltages (2.30 ± 0.57 mV vs 1.94 ± 0.72 mV; P &lt; 0.05), and lower proportion of complex points (8.87% ± 3.61% vs 11.93% ± 4.94%; P = 0.011) compared with the control group. CPAP therapy also resulted in a trend toward lower proportion of atrial surface area &lt;0.5 mV (1.04% ± 1.41% vs 4.80% ± 5.12%; P = 0.065).
