• Sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease: an American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association Council for High Blood Pressure Research Professional Education Committee, Council on Clinical Cardiology, Stroke Council, and Coun (2008, background): “An estimated 50% of atrial fibrillation patients presenting for cardioversion are likely to have OSA compared with an 30% likelihood of OSA in a general cardiology clinic population (243).”

• Obstructive sleep apnea, obesity, and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation. (2007, background): “In a recent cross-sectional study, we showed a strong ssociation between AF and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), ndependently of age, gender, hypertension, heart failure nd, importantly, body mass index (7).”
• Pathophysiology of sleep apnea. (2010, methodology): “In another recent report, patients referred to a cardiology clinic for atrial fibrillation were twice as likely to have OSA, as assessed by the Berlin questionnaire, than patients referred for management of other cardiovascular disease (184).”
