BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a higher prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. However, whether OSA is a risk factor for postoperative atrial fibrillation after septal myectomy remains unclear. We hypothesized that OSA was associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation after septal myectomy. METHODS: A total of 99 patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy who underwent septal myectomy were included in our manuscript. Polysomnography was performed in all patients, and the heart rhythm was continuously monitored during the perioperative period. RESULTS: In the present study, 25 (25.3%) patients developed postoperative atrial fibrillation after septal myectomy. The prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation was significantly higher in patients with OSA and increased with the worsening severity of OSA. Notably, the apnea-hypoxia index was significantly higher in patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation among the different OSA groups. In receiver operating characteristic analysis, the area under the curve for the apnea-hypopnea index was 0.785 (95% CI: 0.684–0.887, P
