In addition, OSA may lead to heart remodeling and increases arrhythmia susceptibility. Atrial distension and remodeling, that has been shown to be associated with OSA, is a well-known anatomical substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is the arrhythmia most commonly described in patients with OSA.
