Abstrakt: Heart rate variability was studied in 11 sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) patients. Two types of control groups were chosen; one group comprises patients having sleep disturbances other than SAS (SAS (–)) and the other group comprises patients who sleep normally (S(–)). Very low frequency (VLF) in frequency-domain analysis was significantly higher in the SAS group than in the control groups. Two parameters in time-domain analysis were significantly higher in the SAS group than in the S(–) group, but were not significantly higher in the SAS (–) group. The frequency component of VLF might serve as a screening method for SAS. Time-domain analyses were more ambiguous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
