Heart rate variability changes by non ‐invasive ventilation in obesity hypoventilation syndrome

ConclusionThe enhanced respiration due to the application of BiPAP can improve the performance of autonomous nervous and cardiovascular systems, in terms of HRV. Moreover, it is suggested to consider some HRV parameters to control the cardiovascular side ‐effects of OHS and confine the resulting mortality rate in long term.
