Cardiac output during human sleep.

J C Miller, S M Horvath

    Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine
    |October 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cardiac output significantly decreases during sleep, particularly during rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, due to reduced stroke volume. This finding supports slow-wave sleep

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Understanding cardiovascular regulation during sleep is crucial for identifying potential health risks.
    • Previous research has indicated changes in cardiac function during different sleep stages.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between sleep stages and cardiac output.
    • To determine if cardiac output changes significantly during specific sleep stages, such as REM and SWS.

    Main Methods:

    • Simultaneous recording of impedance cardiogram (ICG) and polysomnography (sleep EEG) in 8 healthy young adults.
    • Measurement of cardiac output, stroke volume, pre-ejection period, and systolic ejection period throughout the night.
    • Analysis of cardiac parameters during different sleep stages, including REM sleep and slow-wave sleep (SWS).

    Main Results:

    • Cardiac output decreased by approximately 26% during the night, primarily due to diminished stroke volume.
    • The lowest cardiac output and stroke volume values were observed during the latter half of the night, coinciding with REM sleep.
    • No significant differences in stroke volume or cardiac output were found between REM sleep and SWS, or during eye movement bursts within REM sleep.

    Conclusions:

    • Sleep significantly impacts cardiac output, with a notable decline during the night, especially during REM sleep.
    • The non-coincidence of the lowest cardiac output with peak slow-wave sleep activity supports the role of SWS in physiological restoration.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular changes during different sleep stages.
