Summary

This study looks at how sleep disorders and problems with the body's automatic functions (like heart rate control) are linked in elderly people with heart disease. Researchers will study 210 patients aged 65 and older to find out how common sleep issues are and how they affect heart health. The goal is to improve early detection and care for this vulnerable group.
