Validation of a portable monitoring device for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea: electrocardiogram-based cardiopulmonary coupling.

CONCLUSIONS: The overall performance of CPC technique was acceptable to assess OSA in subjects with clinical suspicion of OSA, and thus it might act as a fast tool to screen OSA patients. However, the sensitivity of CPC technology for patients with cardiovascular disease was relatively insufficient. Therefore, CPC technology should be carefully interpreted in OSA screening in those with cardiovascular disease.
