Brief description/objective

Young patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) display an attenuated heart rate recovery (HRR) during the first minute (HRR-1) and the first 2 min (HRR-2) postexercise. We sought to compare determinants of HRR-1 and HRR-2 in OSAS and to assess whether these associations depend on age.
