GW29-e1166 Risk prediction by cyclic variation of heart rate and sleep disordered breathing assessed from Holter ECGs in post infarction patients

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common among cardiac patients. Its role as an independent risk predictor after myocardial infarction (MI) is unclear. SDB is associated with cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR), and can be detected from Holter recordings with a positive and negative predictive
