Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesize that Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrosis development. The investigators aim to prove the presence of atrial fibrosis on Delayed Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI) in OSA patients without atrial fibrillation (AF).
Detailed Description:
This is a cross sectional pilot study. Sixty mild to severe OSA patients and five age- and Body Mass Index (BMI)-matched controls will undergo a DE-MRI. Demographics, medical history and polysomnography results will be collected. Patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea have undergone a polysomnography before the study and were diagnosed based on this test. The investigators will not be performing a polysomnography for any of the patients, just collecting the previous results from their medical charts to confirm they have a true OSA diagnosis for their inclusion in the study.
