On the other hand, the impact of AF therapy and conversion to sinus rhythm is not fully understood. This is a case of a middle-aged man with SDB and persistent AF who exhibited improvement in SDB events, following sinus rhythm conversion. This supports the hypothesis that a bidirectional relationship between SDB and AF exist and highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of CPAP compliance, beyond improvement of daytime sleepiness.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]Improvement in Sleep-Disordered Breathing Indices Downloaded From a Positive Airway Pressure Machine Following Conversion of Atrial Fibrillation to Sinus Rhythm.
