Fig. 7. Comparison of periodic breathing waveforms and bursts.

Fig. 7

At left, single-subject waveforms of periodic breathing in opioid use, stroke, heart failure, at high altitude, and in newborns. These are all conditions and situations in which periodic breathing is commonly encountered. At right, illustrations of bursts in 11 HCP subjects. All plots are on the same time scale, and the green lines measure 1 min. Note the long cycle times seen in patients with heart failure (in the Stroke and Heart failure sections), reflecting, in part, an exaggerated delay in central detection of changes in arterial gas tensions (see Supplementary Discussion for more detail). The stroke example illustrates shows the added effect of delayed circulatory time in heart failure. Images at left modified from46,5458 with permission.
