We hypothesized that REM-OSA patients would exhibit higher sympathetic cardiac modulation based on heart rate variability (HRV) profiles.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>HRV was compared between the OSA group (AHI\u2009\u2265\u20095 events\/h, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009252) and the REM-OSA group (AHI\u2009\u2265\u20095 events\/h, AHIREM:AHINREM\u2009\u2265\u20092, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009137).

Compared with the OSA group, the low frequency to high frequency ratio (LF:HF) and LF power were lower and HF power was higher in the REM-OSA group during N2 (LF:HF, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.012; LF; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.013; HF, p\u2009=\u20090.007) and in REM sleep (LF:HF, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002; LF, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004; HF, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

These results were attributed to differences in OSA severity and sex in these two groups, both independently affecting HRV. This study emphasises the need for future research into the underlying pathophysiology of REM-OSA and the potential implications of sex and OSA severity on cardiovascular risk.<\/jats:p>\n
