This study is limited by selection bias; only patients with atrial fibrillation from anticoagulation clinic is asked to participate, which could limit the generalizability of our results. However, this study aims to test whether a miniaturized simple home-monitoring device for detecting sleep apnea in patients with AF potentially can evaluate sleep apnea more conveniently and easier. Trial Registration The study is registered the 18-02-2021 at clinicaltrials.gov with registration number: NCT04760002.
