Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly associated with cardiovascular diseases, but most patients remain undiagnosed. Cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR) occurs during the night, and R-R interval (RRI) analysis using a Holter electrocardiogram has been reported to be useful in screening for OSA. We investigated the usefulness of RRI analysis to identify OSA using the wearable heart rate sensor WHS-1 and newly developed algorithm.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how kindergarteners who survived the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami felt over time, especially regarding their traumatic feelings.
  • Parents filled out a questionnaire about their children's symptoms at different times after the disaster, and teachers shared info about the environment 8 months later.
  • The results showed that the children's traumatic feelings didn't change much based on disaster experiences, and eating breakfast seemed to impact their feelings early on, but not later.

Background: The distribution of frequency power (DFP) within the QRS complex (QRS) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the DFP within the QRS in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) with lethal ventricular arrhythmias (L-VA). A computer simulation was performed to explore the mechanism of abnormal frequency power.

Background: Ventricular late potentials (VLPs) have been known to be a predictor of lethal ventricular arrhythmias (L-VAs); however, detection of other arrhythmogenic signals within the QRS complex remains obscure.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether abnormal intra-QRS high-frequency powers (IQHFP) within the QRS complex become a new predictor of L-VAs in addition to VLPs.

Methods: Both 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) and VLPs were recorded from 142 subjects, including 37 patients without heart diseases, 97 patients post-myocardial infarction (MI), and 45 post-MI patients with L-VAs.
