Popis: | STUDY OBJECTIVES: The association between daytime/nighttime heart rate variability (HRV) and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) remains unclear. We sought a relationship between AHI and the daytime-to-nighttime HRV ratio as measured by 24-hour Holter monitoring in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 66 patients who visited our sleep clinic complaining of habitual snoring or sleep apnea. All underwent 24-hour Holter monitoring (to measure HRV) combined with full-night polysomnography. Sixty-two met our enrollment criteria. We evaluated the associations between HRV frequency domains and the polysomnography indices. We also considered medical histories and anthropometric data. RESULTS: The nighttime very-low-frequency (VLF), low-frequency (LF), and high-frequency HRVs were significantly higher than the daytime values. On correlation analysis, the day/night VLF (r = .550, P |
