Reverse Atrial Electrical Remodeling Induced by Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Patients with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with atrial enlargement in response to high arterial and pulmonary pressures and increased sympathetic tone. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment for OSA; its impact on atrial electrical remodeling has...
