Can Sleep Apnoea Cause Rapid Heartbeat?

I have recently wakened in the middle of the night with a rapid heartbeat. Had testing about 8 years ago which determined I had sleep apnea. A more recent test decided that I did not, just disturbed sleep? Would the rapid heartbeat be caused by sleep apnea or some other problem?
