Overnight pulse oximetry (OPO) is commonly used as a screening test for obstructive sleep apnea. Heart rate variability (HRV) correlates well with apnea-hypopnea index during polysomnography (PSG). We hypothesized that visual correlation of episodic increase in HRV with minimal oxygen desaturations on normal OPO (oxygen desaturation index less than 5 events/h) is predictive of OSA.
