Abstract
The role of atrial overdrive pacing (AOP) in sleep apnea remains uncertain. We prospectively evaluated the effect of AOP after 24 hours and after one month in patients with the obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome and compared it with the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (n-CPAP).Keywords
