Influence of Prematurity and Extrauterine Development on the Sleep State Dependent Heart Rate Patterns. Einfluss von Fruhgeburtlichkeit und extrauteriner Entwicklung auf schlafstadienabhangige Herzfrequenzveranderungen
Abstract:Question of the Study Premature birth and subsequent extrauterine development may lead to changes in brainstem functions. Central nervous cardiorespiratory regulation, especially the interaction between respiratory and cardiovascular systems, appears to be an essential component of brainstem maturation. The question arises whether premature birth and subsequent extrauterine development may influence sleep state dependent cardiorespiratory regulation. Methods We analysed sleep state dependent heart rate variabi… Show more
