Sleep-stage cardiorespiratory transfer changes appear independent of breathing patterns; hypothesis-generating and should not yet alter clinical practice or models of BP/RRI variability.
Modifications in breathing patterns during sleep stages account for a small portion of variance in cardiorespiratory transfer, suggesting respiratory modulation of vagal activity is not the main mechanism controlling respiratory-related BP and RRI variability during sleep.
Borne et al. (1995) studied this question.
