Entropy-Based Measures of Hypnopompic Heart Rate Variability Contribute to the Automatic Prediction of Cardiovascular Events.

Entropy (Basel, Switzerland) February 20, 2020 Xueya Yan, Lulu Zhang, Jinlian Li et al.

Surges in sympathetic activity should be a major contributor to the frequent occurrence of cardiovascular events towards the end of nocturnal sleep. We aimed to investigate whether the analysis of hypnopompic heart rate variability (HRV) could assist in the prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD). 2217 baseline CVD-free subjects were identified and divided into CVD group and non-CVD group,...
