Obstructive sleep apnea screening performance of the STOP-BANG questionnaire and a home sleep apnea test device in atrial fibrillation ablation candidates
The high OSA prevalence highlights the importance of OSA screening in patients referred for AF ablation. In this cohort, HSAT demonstrated superior accuracy, compared to the STOP-BANG questionnaire and may be considered the preferred OSA screening tool in outpatient AF clinics.
