Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This randomized, controlled trial is designed to test whether treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy alters the natural history of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with recent AF who are now in sinus rhythm, and found to have SDB (obstructive and/or central sleep apnea) by formal sleep study but without complaints of daytime sleepiness, are randomized to PAP therapy to eradicate SDB or to usual care (medical management as prescribed by the patient's cardiologist).
