OSA and A Fib: Prevalence
FIG. 41: We can now ask the same question as the previous Figures in reverse: What percentage of patients with AF have OSA? As can be seen from the study in this Figure, among patients who came to the cardioversion unit at the Mayo Clinic, we found that about 1 in 2 had a high risk of significant sleep apnea, compared with only about 1 in 3 people from a general cardiology practice.[31]
