The mediating role of cardiac autonomic imbalance in the association between hypoxic burden and dyslipidemia in obstructive sleep apnea
Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction and impaired lipid homeostasis. We investigated whether cardiac autonomic imbalance mediates the association between hypoxic burden (HB) and dyslipidemia. Methods Between January 2022 and March 2026, we consecutively enro...
