Assessing cardiac function in obstructive sleep apnea using a novel metric: integrating the respiratory event frequency and desaturation duration
The RERTA combines the AHI and mean LFCT, providing a joint assessment of circulatory stress in patients with OSA. This study highlights its potential utility in evaluating cardiac function associated with OSA, which can serve as a basis for future prospective research.
