Heart rate and spectral EEG changes accompanying periodic and isolated leg movements during sleep.
CEDE both the leg movements and the associated electroen-cephalogram (EEG) changes by as much as 6 seconds. They also reported that the heart-rate changes were greater when occurring with periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS) than with either isolated (ILMS) or respiratory-related leg movements. We 2 and others 3 have previously reported essentially opposite findings, i.e., that heart-rate cha...
متن کاملPeriodic leg movements during sleep and sleep disturbances in elders.
BACKGROUND Periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are an increasingly pervasive disturbance for aging adults. The aims of this experiment were: (a) to describe the index of periodic limb movements in sleep (myoclonus index [MI] in elderly subjects with complaints of poor sleep or depression (N = 22; 68 +/- 5.5 SD years); and (b) to correlate MI with sleep history, depression scores, and object...
متن کاملHeart rate and blood pressure changes during sleep-waking cycles and cataplexy in narcoleptic dogs.
Cataplexy is the abrupt loss of muscle tone experienced by narcoleptics. It is usually precipitated by strong emotions or athletic activity. It has been hypothesized that cardiovascular variables have a role in the triggering of cataplexy. In the present study, we have utilized the narcoleptic canine model to directly investigate changes in heart rate and blood pressure in relation to cataplect...
متن کاملAssessing Periodicity of Periodic Leg Movements During Sleep
BACKGROUND Periodic leg movements (PLM) during sleep consist of involuntary periodic movements of the lower extremities. The debated functional relevance of PLM during sleep is based on correlation of clinical parameters with the PLM index (PLMI). However, periodicity in movements may not be reflected best by the PLMI. Here, an approach novel to the field of sleep research is used to reveal int...
متن کاملChange in heart rate variability precedes the occurrence of periodic leg movements during sleep: an observational study
BACKGROUND Several reports have described that individual periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) activities are associated with autonomic nervous system activity occurring shortly before each PLMS activity. Nevertheless, no study has investigated dynamic changes of autonomic nervous system activity before the onset of PLMS. This study detected changes in heart rate variability (HRV) at the ...
