             Thanks to all who contributed! Link to manuscript here:  https://t.co/F69DM1lnPF.  In summary: no equipoise, most cardiologists consider OSA an important risk factor for AF and poor AF outcomes but only half test for OSA and just a third refer OSA pts with AF for PAP treatment. 
           Call out to all cardiologists on Twitter to share their opinions about sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. Please see survey link, IRB vetted and secure. Thanks for your contribution!
