New evidence supports ablation for high-risk patients with AFib and sleep apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation are two conditions that share a potentially deadly link. Having one increases the odds of developing the other, and together, the breathing difficulties of sleep apnea combined with the irregular heartbeat of atrial fibrillation (AFib) can result in life-threatening cardiovascular risks.
