Ventricular Arrhythmias Incidence According to Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Patients

Sleep Apnoea Clinical Trial

Official title: Ventricular Arrhythmias Incidence According to Sleep Apnea Syndrome in ICD Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to report the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias correlated to the SAS and to focus on the interest of diagnosing Sleep-disorders breathing in ICD patients. This diagnosis will be assessed by an ambulatory nasal pressure recording with portable multi-channel recorder associated to a complete SAS related symptoms questionnaire.This clinical trial will be the first step to gather information about the suspected sleep relation between ventricular arrhythmias and Sleep breathing disorders, in order to improve the management and treatment of such arrhythmias in next generation of defibrillators which will integrate a minute ventilation sensor able to monitor breathing.
