Popis: Aims Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) imposes significant stress on the cardiovascular system and the heart. While long-term cardiac effects are understood, the immediate impact of hypoxaemia on the heart's electrophysiology lacks understanding. Our study aims to explore desaturation severity on cardiovascular repolarisation. Methods We retrospectively analysed ECGs from full diagnostic polysomnographies from 492 patients with suspected OSA. The analyses were conducted before, during and after 9137 nocturnal apnoea- or hypopnoea-related desaturations. The mean and sd of T-wave amplitude change from the baseline level to the level during and after desaturations (ΔTamp_mean and ΔTamp_SD) were calculated. To investigate the modulatory effects of desaturation severity, the data were divided into subgroups based on the desaturation duration (Tdes; 10 s≤Tdes
