Atrial Fibrillation and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Veterans disability

Описание: In this video Leah discusses the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AFib), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and their implications in veterans' disability claims. She explains that AFib, a common heart arrhythmia where the heart beats irregularly, can be service-connected either on a primary basis (diagnosed during service without pre-existing conditions) or a secondary basis (related to or worsened by other service-connected conditions). Leah emphasizes the connection between AFib and OSA, citing studies that show a strong association and a potential causal relationship through mechanisms like autonomic dysfunction and electrical remodeling of the heart. She mentions literature supporting the link between OSA and increased AFib risk, highlighting that untreated OSA can lead to AFib.
