Study sleep apnea and heart outcomes in high-risk atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a breathing problem during sleep) relates to heart outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help doctors better predict risk and choose safer care for people who are high cardiovascular risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 22 or older
- You have atrial fibrillation (AF), including paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent
- You have “high” cardiovascular risk, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, prior stroke, heart artery disease, or certain kidney problems
- If you already know you have OSA (sleep apnea), you are not already on regular CPAP treatment
- You can legally and clearly agree to join the study (research consent)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This pilot study looks at whether obstructive sleep apnea leads to heart scarring (called atrial fibrosis), especially in people with and without an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation). It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why, using sleep testing and heart imaging.
This study tests a new way to check and treat sleep apnea in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). If you have AF and symptoms, you may be able to join and get sleep tracking and treatment that could help both your heart and sleep.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
This study tests whether starting CPAP therapy soon after a heart procedure called catheter ablation helps people with sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) recover better and stay in normal rhythm. CPAP is a machine that helps keep your airway open while you sleep.
This study looks at how scar tissue in the heart's upper chambers relates to other health issues in people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve understanding and treatment for this condition.
This study looks at how turning off your sleep apnea device for short periods affects your heart rhythm, especially if you have a condition like atrial fibrillation. It may help understand the link between sleep and heart health.
