Summary

This study tested whether a special algorithm in a pacemaker can accurately diagnose sleep apnea in people with heart stiffness (diastolic dysfunction). Researchers also looked for a link between a hormone called aldosterone and sleep apnea severity. The study involved 66 adults who already needed a pacemaker, comparing the device's readings with standard sleep tests.
