The Inconsistent Nature of Heart Rate Variability During Sleep in Normal Children and Adolescents

The Inconsistent Nature of Heart Rate Variability During Sleep in Normal Children and Adolescents

Introduction: Cardiac function is modulated by multiple factors including exogenous (circadian rhythm) and endogenous (ultradian 90–110 min sleep cycle) factors. By evaluating heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep, we will better understand their influence on cardiac activity. The aim of this st...
