Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Original language description
Background: An important consequence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). EDS often predicts a favorable response to treatment of SDB, although in the setting of cardiovascular disease, particularly heart failure, SDB and EDS do not reliably correlate. Atrial fibrillation (AF). is another highly prevalent condition strongly associated with SDB. We sought to assess the relationship between EDS and SDB in patients with AF. Methods: We conducted a prospective study of151 patients referred for direct current cardioversion for AF who also underwent sleep evaluation and nocturnal polysomnography. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was administered prior to polysomnography and considered positive if the score was >= 11.The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was tested for correlation with the ESS, with a cutoff of >= 5 events/h for the diagnosis of SDB. Results: Among the study participants, mean age was 69.1 +/- 11.7 years, mean BMI was 34.1 +/- 8.4 kg/m(2), a
