CPAP for Sleep Apnea After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting CPAP therapy (a breathing mask used during sleep) after a heart procedure called atrial fibrillation ablation can help people with both sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. It might lower the chance of the heart rhythm problem coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a type of irregular heartbeat called persistent atrial fibrillation and are getting your first catheter ablation (a procedure to fix the heartbeat).
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- You are able to use a CPAP machine (a mask that helps you breathe while sleeping).
- You do not have other serious heart or lung conditions, recent strokes, or certain other medical issues.

This study investigates whether a catheter ablation procedure can improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of serious events for people 80 and older with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if this treatment offers better outcomes than standard care in this age group.
This study tests whether using a CPAP machine at night can help prevent atrial fibrillation from coming back after a heart procedure called catheter ablation. It is for people who have both AF and moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
This study looks at how treating AFib with a procedure called catheter ablation might affect your sleep quality. You can join if you have AFib and are already planning to have this procedure, and you also have at least one risk factor for sleep apnea.
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.
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 trial tests if acupuncture can help prevent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) from coming back after a procedure called catheter ablation. If you have had ablation and your heart rhythm is back to normal, this study may help you stay in a healthy rhythm.
