Classic spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) in pediatric sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) traditionally evaluates the very low frequency (VLF: 0-0.04 Hz), low frequency (LF: 0.04-0.15 Hz), and high frequency (HF: 0.15-0.40 Hz) bands. However, specific SAHS-related frequency bands have not been explored.
