Sleep disordered breathing in children disrupts the maturation of autonomic control of heart rate and its association with cerebral oxygenation.

Conclusion SDB disrupts the normal maturation of the autonomic control of heart rate and the association between HRV and cerebral oxygenation exhibited by non-snoring control children of primary school age. These results highlight the impact SDB has on cardiovascular control and the potential impact on adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
