Application of the Variance Delay Fuzzy Approximate Entropy for Autonomic Nervous System Fluctuation Analysis in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a fatal respiratory disease occurring in sleep. OSA can induce declined heart rate variability (HRV) and was reported to have autonomic nerve system (ANS) dysfunction. Variance delay fuzzy approximate entropy (VD_fApEn) was proposed as a nonlinear index to study the...
