<p>Autonomic Arousals as Surrogates for Cortical Arousals Caused by Respiratory Events: A Methodological Optimization Study in the Diagnosis of Sleep Breathing Disorders</p>

Abstract

Autonomic arousals (HRa and PTT) may be a suitable proxy of EEG arousals associated with respiratory events, using both TST and TRT. Therefore, they could potentially help to capture borderline symptomatic patients and to monitor treatment outcomes.
