Longer apneas and hypopneas are associated with greater ultra-short-term HRV in obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract Low long-term heart rate variability (HRV), often observed in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, is a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, it is unclear how the type or duration of individual respiratory events modulate ultra-short-term HRV and beat-to-beat intervals...
