Cardiac arrhythmias during sleep are reported in almost half of the population suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The most common are bradyarrhythmias and atrial fibrillation whereas premature ventricular contractions and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia are less frequent. The risk of arrhythmia is proportional to the body mass index (BMI), number of respiratory events per hour of sleep described with apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) and the level of oxygen desaturation during these episodes. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in OSA reduces the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias therefore reduce mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease.

The factors contributing to the development of cardiac arrhythmias in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the main methods of treating this syndrome have been analyzed and summarized.The review discusses the relationships of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) with various types of heart rhythm disorders. Pathogenetic factors of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome leading to the development of cardiac arrhythmias, current treatment strategies and their impact on heart rhythm disorders are summarized.
