Unveiling the inflammatory link: integrated analysis identifies BMP7 and PPBP as key genes in obstructive sleep apnea-related atrial fibrillation
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independently modifiable risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the molecular mechanism of OSA-related AF is elusive. This study aims to identify the key genes and pathophysiological changes underlying OSA-related AF. Methods Three AF expression datasets, along...
