Core Tip	Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked with the initiation and progression of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with OSA have lower success with therapies for AF. Continuous positive airway pressure has been shown to be effective in treatment of OSA and there is some evidence suggesting its role in improving AF control in patients with OSA. In this article, we review and discuss the available data explaining the potential pathophysiological mechanisms linking OSA and AF as well as the therapeutic and prognostic implications of the presence of OSA in AF patients.
