Summary: This study investigates the impact of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) treatment on ventricular tachycardia (VT) burden in heart failure (HF) patients. The results show that SDB treatment leads to significant improvements in VT burden, antitachycardia pacing (ATP), and shock therapy in HF patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). SDB treatment may also affect the survival of HF patients.

Summary: This study analyzed the improvement of blood pressure variability in obese youth with sleep-disordered breathing after positive airway pressure treatment, showing significant decreases in nighttime blood pressure. The findings suggest that positive airway pressure treatment can lead to a clinically significant improvement in sympathetic nerve activity in youth with obesity and sleep-disordered breathing.

Summary: The study revealed impaired autonomic nervous function in children with OSA. Low-grade inflammation was found to be an independent risk factor for altered LF/HF ratio in the wake stage. AHI influenced sympathetic-vagal balance during falling asleep.

Summary: This study examined the effect of treatment on heart rate variability (HRV) in children with Down Syndrome (DS) and sleep disordered breathing (SDB). The results showed that improvement in SDB prevented a decline in HRV, suggesting that managing the severity of SDB can help maintain autonomic control in children with DS.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal sleep-disordered breathing events and fetal well-being. The results showed that episodes of maternal sleep apnea and hypopnea did not cause decelerations in fetal heart rate, despite the presence of risk factors such as maternal obesity. However, fetal heart rate variability increased during these events and returned to baseline levels soon after. There was no evidence that maternal sleep-disordered breathing posed an immediate threat to the near-term fetus.

Summary: This study found that pulse rate variability (PRV) parameters can be specific predictors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Particularly, for elderly SDB patients, pulse-to-pulse interval differences (PNN50) can serve as a potent biomarker for CVD risk, even without traditional CVD risk factors.

Summary: This study found altered cardiac autonomic regulation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during nighttime and suggested that nighttime HRV could potentially be used as a predictor of sleep breathing disorders. These findings have important clinical implications for the diagnosis and prognosis of OSA.

Summary: This study aimed to compare cardiovascular parameters between healthy children and those with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (oSDB), as well as identify predictors of arterial stiffness indices in children with oSDB. Children with oSDB showed higher reflection coefficient and augmentation index compared to controls, indicating increased arterial stiffness. Multiple regression analysis revealed age, female sex, reflection coefficient, and systolic volume as independent predictors of augmentation index, while higher pulse wave velocity was associated with poorer quality of life.

Summary: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has significant cardiovascular and neurological effects, with supplemental oxygen therapy showing mixed results in improving oxygen saturation and apnea severity compared to positive airway pressure therapy. Further research is needed to clarify the optimal dose and duration of nocturnal supplemental oxygen (NSO) and its combination with PAP in improving cardiovascular, sleep, and cognitive outcomes in SDB patients.

Summary: This study found a positive correlation between SDB and mean HR in HCM patients, especially during nighttime. It suggests that treating SDB may serve as a complementary approach to alleviate symptoms in HCM patients.

Summary: Emerging literature suggests that women with sleep-disordered breathing are at increased risk for gestational hypertension/preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Initial data in this study indicate a significant association between maternal respiratory events and fetal heart rate decelerations, potentially impacting fetal well-being.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of breathing rate and heart rate on morphological variability magnitude and T wave alternans in electrocardiograms. The results show that physiological factors significantly affect these parameters and should be considered as confounders in analysis. Adding breathing rate and heart rate to classification models can improve performance.

Summary: Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with cardiovascular risks, but previous studies have underestimated its prevalence. Using more physiological data can improve diagnosis sensitivity, and high-risk individuals should be identified for focused treatment.

Summary: Additional therapeutic strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF) beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) have not been established. Remodeling of the left atrium (LA) could impact AF recurrence post-PVI. We investigated the impact of unipolar voltage (UV) criteria for the LA posterior wall (LA-PW) on AF recurrence post-PVI.

Summary: The relationship between local unipolar voltage (UV) in the pulmonary vein (PV)-ostia and left atrial wall thickness (LAWT) and their utility as indices of outcome after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation were investigated. It was found that both UV and LAWT were significantly higher in patients with atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) recurrence, and they had a strong positive correlation. Combining UV and LAWT allows for stratification of recurrence risk and suggests a tailored ablation strategy based on LA tissue properties.
