Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep disorders, which are recognized as cardiovascular risk factors. Single-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) are recorded during PSG but rarely analyzed, presenting an opportunity to leverage overnight ECGs for cardiovascular risk prediction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We applied a deep residual neural network with attention t…
