| Abstract: | Purpose The interaction between moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiac arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation
(AF), is well known. We aimed to determine whether atrial electromechanical parameters assessed by tissue Doppler imaging
(TDI) would be affected in moderate-to-severe OSA, and detect the influential factors of atrial electromechanical parameters
in these patients. |
