Starting CPAP therapy after atrial fibrillation ablation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old.
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (continuous irregular heartbeat) and are having your first catheter ablation procedure.
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
- You can use a CPAP machine comfortably.
- You are willing to follow the study plan and sign a consent form.

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 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 modified 'pills-in-the-pocket' approach—taking antiarrhythmic drugs only when symptoms occur—for people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who still have arrhythmias lasting over 24 hours after their first catheter ablation. It aims to see if this strategy can safely control symptoms without needing daily medication.
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 is testing whether a structured exercise program (combining cardio and strength training) can help people who have already had a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if this type of training can improve heart health and quality of life.
