Sleep apnea device may keep heart rhythm in check
NCT ID NCT07358429
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using a CPAP machine at night can reduce the chance of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) returning in people who have both sleep apnea and a history of AF. Researchers will follow 91 adults for 12 months, tracking how often they use CPAP and checking for AF recurrence with ECG and Holter monitors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device
What this could lead to
If CPAP adherence reduces AF recurrence, it could point to a simple way to manage heart rhythm problems in sleep apnea patients.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. CPAP adherence varies, and the small size (91 people) limits how much we can conclude.
