ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has a high prevalence in western countries. Many papers have been published with the purpose of demonstrating that OSAS acts as an arrhythmia trigger and is responsible for an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to review our knowledge on this topic. RECENT FINDINGS:
There is a lot of evidence demonstrating the relationship between OSAS and arrhythmias, but there remains a lack of an interventional randomized trial to demonstrate that by treating OSAS we can reduce arrhythmia burden. OSAS is a highly prevalent illness in western countries and is clearly related to an increase in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Cardiac arrhythmias are triggered by a repetitive hypoxemia, hypercapnia, acidosis, intrathoracic pressure fluctuations, reoxygenation, and arousals during apnea and hypopnea episodes. Early diagnosis and treatment of these patients can reduce further cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Palavras-chave
