Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) comprising obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is found in more than half of patients with heart failure (HF) and may have negative impacts on cardiovascular function. Increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and the development of coronary events and congestive heart failure are associated with OSA. It is associated with a substandard quality of life, increased hospitalizations, and a poor prognosis. Despite its association with severe cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, the condition is frequently underdiagnosed. The substantial clinical evidence has established OSA as an independent risk factor for bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias in the last decade. The mechanisms which lead to such arrhythmias are uncertain. In short, OSA patients have a significantly elevated risk of HF and atrial fibrillation (AF). The direct correlation between HF, SDB, and cardiac arrhythmias has been poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to get a better understanding of the relation between AF, OSA, and HF by focusing on the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these conditions. Therefore, we searched for articles to support our association in PubMed and Google Scholar databases.
