Secondary objectives will explore the mechanisms linking OSA and arrhythmia using cardiac autonomic function parameters based on Holter recordings and circulating biomarkers (high sensitivity Troponin-T, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide, matrix metalloproteinase-9, fibroblast growth factor 23, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α) before and after CPAP initiation in the ILR-arm. Here, IL6 is linked to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
