Video Summary
In this episode of EP on EP, Eric Prostowski interviews Dr. Sunit Mittal about the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and atrial fibrillation (AFib). They discuss the importance of risk factor modification in AFib patients and how OSA, often caused by obesity, is a significant risk factor. However, the impact of treating OSA on AFib outcomes is still unclear. Observational studies have shown mixed results, with some suggesting a benefit while others have not found a difference. Randomized clinical trials are needed to determine if treating OSA improves AFib outcomes. In the meantime, treating OSA for symptom relief and overall well-being is reasonable.
