We investigated the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias in patients suspected of having sleep apnea, and related them to the severity of apnea, snoring, and nocturnal hypoxemia. We prospectively studied 458 patients who had nocturnal polysomnography which included objective measurement of snoring (quantified by the number of snores per hour of sleep [snoring index (SI)] and maximum nocturnal sound intensity [(dBmax)], as well as examination of the electrocardiogram (modified lead 2). We found 58 percent prevalence of arrhythmias in patients with sleep apnea (apnea/hypopnea index=AHI >10), vs 42 percent in nonapneic controls (chi(2)=16.7, p
