The Analysis of How Apnea Influences the Autonomic Nervous System Using Short-Term Heart Rate Variability Indices

Objective. Frequent cessations of respiration can greatly increase the prevalence rate of arrhythmia. It has been confirmed that cardiac modulation is regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). And heart rate variability (HRV) is widely used as a method to evaluate the function of the ANS. The...
