Implication

Prospective study shows reduced resting heart rate and cardiac output in children post-adenotonsillectomy, indicating impact on cardiovascular health related to obstructive sleep disordered breathing.

Key Points

Adenotonsillectomy significantly decreased resting heart rate and estimated cardiac output in children.
Statistical analysis revealed a meaningful reduction in heart rate (p = 0.028) and cardiac output (p = 0.003) post-surgery.
Ninety children aged 4-14 years were included, with a mean age of 6.86 years in the study.
Younger children showed a stronger negative correlation between age and changes in cardiac output after surgery.
