Sleep Apnea & Cardiology News
Dive into expert analyses, recent research, and the latest news on the intersection of heart health and sleep apnea.
Sleep Apnea & Cardiology Connection
Summary
Obstructive sleep apnea, affecting over 30 million Americans and 1 billion globally, leads to serious comorbidities like hypertension and stroke, with up to 80% undiagnosed; understanding its impact on heart health emphasizes the link, particularly causing Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). A collaborative approach in treatment is crucial for promoting overall heart health.
Atrial Fibrillation & Sleep Apnea's Bidirectional Impact
Summary
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), impacting over 2 million in the US, shares a bidirectional link with sleep apnea, emphasizing the physiological response common to both, where untreated sleep apnea not only triggers arrhythmias but also increases the risk of serious co-morbidities, necessitating comprehensive treatment for improved sleep quality and reduced overall health risks.
