Detection of Obstructive Sleep Apnea from the Frequency Analysis of Heart Rate Variability
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new algorithm for the detection of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) from a single electrocardiogram lead. It is based on the alterations that OSA patients present in the LF and HF bands of the heart rate variability power spectrum. The algorithm calculates the power of the spectrum in two bands that roughly corresponding with the LF and HF bands. Then the ratio between the power of the low band and the power of the high band is obtained. If this ratio is greater than a certain threshold the patient is classified as having OSA, otherwise he/she is classified as not having OSA. Then the algorithm was validated over the test data set of the Apnea-ECG Database, classifying correctly 29 of 30 recordings.

Obstructive sleep apnea in patients, between 70 and 80 percent, can be cured with just a posture correcting. The most import thing to do this is detection of obstructive sleep apnea. Detection of obstructive sleep apnea can be performed through heart rate variability analysis using power spectrum density analysis. After HRV analysis we needed to know the current position information for correct...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea syndrome and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy: a case control study
Background: Sleep apnea is temporary cessation or absence of breathing during sleep. Significant increase in blood pressure is clinically seen in apneic episodes. The aim of this study was to examine sleep apnea syndrome as a risk factor for non- arthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in a case control study. Methods: Nineteen NAION patients (9 men and 10 women) and 31 age and ...
