A surge of data has reproducibly identified strong associations of OSA with cardiac
arrhythmias. As an extension of epidemiologic and clinic-based findings, experimental …

Over the past 2 decades, the syndrome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF) received a lot of attention. 1–19 However, little therapeutic progress was made. 20 …

Long‐Term Outcome of AF Ablation. Introduction: Ablation eliminates atrial fibrillation (AF) in
studies with 1 year follow‐up, but very late recurrences may compromise long‐term efficacy …

Background We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association
between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiac as well as coronary impairment …

Most patients with heart failure (HF) have sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), with central
(rather than obstructive) sleep apnea becoming the predominant form in patients with more …

Background—Previous studies in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were limited by study
cohorts with comorbidities that confound assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic and …

Aim: We investigated the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and
subclinical cardiac organ damage through a meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies …

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the left atrial (LA) volume and function of obese patients
with/without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its association with left ventricular (LV) …

Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent condition that is increasingly
recognized to be associated with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate the …
