Risk Prediction After Myocardial Infarction by Cyclic Variation of Heart Rate, a Surrogate of Sleep-Disordered Breathing Assessed From Holter ECGs

AimsSleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common among cardiac patients, but its role as an independent risk predictor after myocardial infarction (MI) is unclear. SDB causes cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR). The aim of this study was to score Holter ECGs of a large cohort of MI survivors for SDB...
