Sleep medicine, especially for the SAS, has received increasing attention in recent years. One of the primary health implications of SAS is its impact on the cardiovascular system. Due to the fact that 90¢H of the SAS are OSA, the diagnose and treatment for OSA have simulated great interest. It has been shown that HRV (Heart Rate Variability) interacts with the autonomic nervous system, which in turn, correlated with OSA. Consequently, many signal processing methods have been applied to analyze HRV with the hope that features that correlate HRV and OSA can be found.
For the reason, the goal of this work is to develop signal processing methods to explore the interaction between HRV and OSA. In performing such tasks, conventional approaches converts HRV signal to analog from by using interpolation. This work will maintain the original digital form of the HRV. Our results will be compared with the results obtained by the conventional analog method. Finally, the HRV band that has the strongest correlation with the OSA will be reported.
