摘要: The effects of sleep-related disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), can be devastating either in children or adults. Misdiagnosis may lead to severe cardiovascular diseases. Besides, OSA consequences are often related bad job performance, and road accidents. Nowadays, polysomnography (PSG) is still considered the gold standard for diagnosis, but required facilities extremely high, thus reducing availability worldwide. For this reason, simpler cost-effective diagnosing methods have been proposed late years. In regard, heart rate variability (HRV) has demonstrated strongly reflect episodes during sleep. Hence, work reviews latest advances evaluation from HRV perspective consider its potentialities a future revisited CinC Challenge.
