Research Article: Cross-Sectional Relationship Between Atrial Conduction Delay and Arterial Stiffness in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Date Published: 2023-11-13

Introduction:
The P-wave duration (PWD) on an electrocardiogram is generally accepted as a reliable and noninvasive indicator of atrial conduction. Prolonged PWD, which indicates atrial conduction delay, is a potent precursor of atrial fibrillation (AF). , Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may cause atrial conduction delay, which can be modified by OSA treatment through continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The possible mechanisms underlying the relationship between OSA and atrial conduction delay include mechanical and…
