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 continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy—a machine that helps keep your airway open while you sleep—can reduce how often you experience irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation). The study includes people who have both moderate to severe sleep apnea and frequent episodes of irregular heartbeats. Researchers want to understand if treating sleep apnea helps control the heart rhythm problem.
Many people have both sleep apnea and irregular heartbeats, but doctors aren't sure how much treating the sleep apnea actually helps the heart condition. This study aims to answer that question so doctors can better understand how to care for patients with both problems.

Over about 3 months, you will alternate between 2-week periods of using your CPAP machine and 2-week periods of not using it. Your implanted heart device will automatically track your irregular heartbeat episodes during each period, and you'll answer questionnaires about how you're feeling and your quality of life. The study compares your own results with and without the CPAP treatment to see if the machine makes a difference for you personally.
