Objectives:
We hypothesized that cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) sleep quality reflects cardiovascular and cardiometabolic health, in healthy weight children.
Conclusions:
CPC sleep quality offers insights into pediatric sleep and how it affects cardiovascular and cardiometabolic health.
Practical Significance:
ECG is simple signal to collect, which makes this method practical for testing sleep, over multiple nights, and on multiple occasions providing information on sleep dynamics not possible to obtain previously.
