Abstract
DIAZ BAQUERO, Alicia; SANCHEZ ARMENGOL, Ángeles; CABALLERO ERASO, Candela and LUZ ROMERO, Rosa M.. Heart Rhythm disorders and suspected Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea syndrome. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2011, vol.4, n.2, pp.170-173. ISSN 2386-8201.
Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS) is associated with several cardiovascular diseases and is a risk factor for heart rhythm disorders. A direct temporal relationship between obstructive respiratory events and the onset of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), during sleep has been reported recently.
