Figure 3 Three-minute period of stable non-rapid eye movement sleep without detectable EEG arousal. Please note the variability of both pulse wave amplitude and pulse rate (PR). PPT = pulse propagation time; PWA = pulse wave attenuation; RRPO = respiration-related pulse oscillation; Spo2 = oxygen desaturation.

Figure 4 ORs, with 95% CIs, for cardiovascular (CV) risk class progressions over interquartile range spans of each ASI parameter (eg, PPT 200:140). For example, a subject with an Spo2 index of 26 exhibits a 1.7 times (70%) greater risk of being in a higher CV risk class than a subject with an Spo2 index of 4.7. PR.I = pulse rate index; PWA.I = pulse wave attentuation index; Spo2.I = hypoxia index. See Figure 1 and 3 legends for expansion of other abbreviations.
