Longer nocturnal respiratory events in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) cause higher immediate heart rate variability, and greater changes in beat-to-beat intervals are associated with reduced daytime alertness, according to new research from the University of Eastern Finland.
Obstructive sleep apnoea affects approximately 1 billion people worldwide. It is one of the most prevalent sleeping disorders, putting a great strain on national economies and on public health. Nocturnal respiratory events, be they complete or partial blocking of the airways, often cause repeated oxygen desaturations and interrupted sleep in patients with OSA, leading to abnormal nervous system function. ....

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Puts A Strain On The Heart, Too


Obstructive Sleep Apnea Puts A Strain On The Heart, Too
Eastern Finland, 10th December 2020.  New research from the University of Eastern Finland, shows the extent to which sleep apnea puts a strain on the heart and causes reduced daytime alertness. Longer nocturnal respiratory events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cause higher immediate heart rate variability. It also causes greater changes in beat-to-beat intervals which are associated with reduced daytime alertness.
