DEvice-Detected CArdiac Tachyarrhythmic Events and Sleep-disordered Breathing (DEDiCATES)

The prevalence of SDB high in patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED). Recently, device-detected SDB events showed a correlation with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) diagnosed by polysomnography. Thus, CIED will facilitate early detection and monitoring of SDB in patients with CIEDs. Few studies investigated prognostic value of CIED-detected SDB in risk of cardiovascular events. Therefore, the primary aim is to determine whether device-detected SDB are associated with increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiovascular morbidities using a prospective multicenter registry.
