Popis: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) promotes atrial remodeling and fibrosis, providing a substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF). Herein, we investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms of AF in association with OSA in a cohort of cardiac surgery patients. A prospective study including patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Biomarkers reflective of AF pathophysiology (interleukin [IL-6], C-reactive protein [CRP], von Willebrand factor [vWF], N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP], high-sensitivity Troponin T [hs-TnT], and Galectin-3 [Gal-3]) was assessed by functional or immunological assays. miRNAs involved in AF were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Using atrial tissue samples, fibrosis was assessed by Masson's trichrome. Connexin 40 and 43 (Cx40; Cx43) were evaluated by immunolabeling. Fifty-six patients (15 with OSA and 41 non-OSA) were included in this hypothesis-generating pilot study. OSA group had a higher incidence of postoperative AF (POAF) (46.7% vs. 19.5%; p = .042), presented an increased risk of POAF (OR 3.61, 95% CI 1.01-12.92), and had significantly higher baseline levels of NT-proBNP (p = .044), vWF (p = .049), Gal-3 (p = .009), IL-6 (p = .002), and CRP (p = .003). This group presented lower levels of miR-21 and miR-208 (both p
