The trial of 100 people seeks to explore the link between abnormal heart rhythms and the condition.
One hundred people in Coventry and Warwickshire are to be monitored while they snooze as part of research into sleep apnoea.
The research will examine patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea ; a condition in which breathing stops and starts. It aims to discover the link between abnormal heart rhythms and OSA by implanting recorders under the skin.University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire and the University of Warwick will conduct the research over three years.The condition is associated with higher rates of illness and deaths linked to heart conditions, such as heart disease.
Professor Faizel Osman said the trial aimed to identify a prevalence rate of abnormal heart rhythms in patients. "This would mean that heart monitoring could become more routine for those at risk who present with OSA with the very real potential to save lives," he said.
