Gender Disparities in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Sleep Apnea
This study highlights the importance of systematically evaluating patients with atrial fibrillation for obstructive sleep apnea, due to its high prevalence, even in the absence of classic symptoms. The observed gender differences in clinical, laboratory, and polysomnographic parameters among AF patients emphasize the need for personalized diagnostic and management approaches.
