RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL

Disrupted Sleep and Concurrent Ectopy or Atrial Fibrillation

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

Whereas the available evidence mostly supports chronic sleep disruption as a risk factor for incident AF, less is known about the near-term risk of a discrete atrial fibrillation (AF) episode following a night of disrupted or poor-quality sleep. This prospective, randomized, case-crossover study aims to examine the acute effects of sleep disruption on clinically relevant cardiac ectopy pertinent to AF.
