Summary
This study looks at whether screening for and treating sleep apnea can reduce the need for a heart procedure called ablation in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib). About 50 adults with AFib that hasn't improved with medication will be checked for sleep apnea risk. Those at high or intermediate risk will get a sleep test and, if positive, standard sleep apnea treatment. After 3 months, doctors will see if their heart rhythm has improved enough to avoid ablation. The goal is to see if managing sleep apnea can be a helpful step before more invasive heart treatments.
