Link between a sleep-related breathing disorder and increased heart rate variability

A sleep-related breathing disorder, common in heart failure, increases one's heart rate variability. Further, central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea produce different patterns of heart rate variability, which are likely to reflect the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved.
