Electrocardiographic variables in children with syndromic craniosynostosis and primary snoring to mild obstructive sleep apnea: significance of identifying respiratory arrhythmia during sleep

In the spectrum of children with symptomatic sleep disordered breathing (SDB), some individuals – such as those with upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) – do not have abnormalities on polysomnography (PSG). In this study we have assessed whether assessment of respiratory arrhythmia (RA) and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis helps in management of children with syndromic craniosynostosis and none-to-mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
