This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand if there's a connection between using a hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) device—which treats sleep apnea by stimulating a nerve to keep your airway open—and the occurrence of irregular heartbeats. In this study, you'll randomly turn your device on and off on different nights over two weeks while wearing a heart monitor to see how these rhythms change.
Some people with sleep apnea devices notice irregular heartbeats, but doctors aren't sure if the device itself is causing them or if something else is at play. This trial aims to answer that question so doctors can better advise patients about the safety and management of this treatment.

You'll participate in a 14-day study where you randomly turn your sleep apnea device on or off each night—never more than two consecutive nights of the same setting. Throughout the study, you'll wear a continuous heart monitor that automatically records your heart rhythm. Researchers will track how many irregular heartbeats you have each day and whether any episodes of atrial fibrillation occur, comparing your heart's response when the device is on versus off.
