Read our Atrial Fibrillation research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether screening for obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) and treating it early can help reduce irregular heartbeat episodes in people with atrial fibrillation. You would use a portable home sleep testing device for one night, and if sleep apnea is found, you may receive standard sleep apnea treatment. Throughout the study, you would wear a smartwatch to monitor your heart rhythm.
Sleep apnea is very common in people with atrial fibrillation but is often missed because it's not easily diagnosed. Early research suggests that treating sleep apnea might reduce how often irregular heartbeats happen, but doctors need more solid evidence from a real-world study to be sure.

You would take home a portable sleep testing device and wear it for one night to check for sleep apnea. If sleep apnea is detected, you would have a formal sleep study and may start treatment. Over the next 3 to 6 months, you would wear a smartwatch that continuously monitors your heart rhythm to see if the treatment helps reduce your irregular heartbeat episodes.
