Abstract

Autonomic cardiorespiratory control changes with sleep-wake states and is influenced by sleep-related breathing disorders. Power spectrum (PS) analysis of instantaneous fluctuations in heart rate (HR) is used to investigate the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in cardiorespiratory control. The two spectral regions of interest are the low frequency component (LF) and high frequency component (HF). The aim of the present study was to investigate the autonomic cardiorespiratory control in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. We studied 10 children with OSA versus 10 normal children. All subjects underwent whole night polysomnography. Spectral analysis of the HR and breathing signals was performed for 256 second long, artifact-free epochs in each sleep-wake state. The LF power was higher in the OSA group compared with control subjects for all states, reflecting enhanced sympathetic activity in OSA subjects. The results indicated sympathetic predominance during REM sleep in all subjects and parasympathetic predominance in slow wave sleep only in controls. The autonomic balance (LF/HF) was significantly higher in OSA patients than in control subjects, at all stages during night sleep, and while awake before sleep onset. An index of overall autonomic balance (ABI) was computed for each subject and correlated well with the measured respiratory disturbance index (RDI).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
