Brief Summary

Current Knowledge: Countless studies have been conducted to study the relationship between OSA and AF, and a significant association has been established between both diseases, owing to the numerous shared risk factors and a wide variety of pathophysiological changes resulting from both diseases being relevant to each other. Our study inspects this relationship from a cardiovascular standpoint, examining the prevalence of OSA in existing AF patients, which could be interpreted as AF being a risk factor for OSA development.

Berlin Questionnaire DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Berlin Questionnaire is a simple survey that helps doctors identify OSA risk. It looks at snoring, daytime sleepiness, obesity, and hypertension. A positive score in two or more areas indicates high risk, while one or none suggests low risk. It is an easy and effective tool to assess OSA risk, with proven validity.
