ABSTRACT
This study investigated whether there is a relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF), mean platelet volume (MPV), and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) in patients who have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). We enrolled patients who had OSAS with either AF or normal sinus rhythm (NSR). We divided 90 patients (aged 50-80 years) into 2 groups group 1 consisted of 40 patients with OSAS having AF and group 2 of 50 patients with OSAS having NSR. Mean platelet volume was higher in patients with AF than in those with NSR (9.8 ± 0.6 vs 8.4 ± 0.6 fL; P < .001). The MPV and AHI were substantial variables associated with AF (odds ratio [OR] = 2.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36-5.26; P < .004 and OR = 1.91; 95% CI, 1.26-3.32; P = .02). Elevated MPV value of ≥9.4 fL is associated with AF (70% sensitivity and 63% specificity). More research is needed to establish the clinical relevance of this association.
