ECG-based artificial intelligence for obstructive sleep apnea detection: a mechanism-oriented diagnostic meta-analysis.
AI analyzing heart rhythms may help identify sleep apnea by detecting the body's response to breathing disruptions.
This meta-analysis evaluates ECG-based artificial intelligence for obstructive sleep apnea detection: a mechanism-oriented diagnostic meta-analysis. The PubMed abstract reports that Importantly, these findings suggest that AI systems may not directly detect airway obstruction but instead may identify downstream physiological responses, particularly autonomic nervous system alterations reflected in cardiovascular signals.
