DOI: 10.1002/ppul.24899
Abstract: Evidence for nocturnal oximetry interpretation in patients with abnormal neuromuscular function is limited. We aimed to compare children with neuromuscular disease (NMD) or Prader‐Willi syndrome (PWS) to otherwise healthy subjects with obstructive sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ccep.2017.07.013
Abstract: Cardiovascular complications of neuromuscular diseases disproportionately affect the cardiac conduction system. Cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias produce significant morbidity and mortality. Patients with neuromuscular diseases should be carefully and frequently evaluated for the presence of bradycardia,… read more here.
