Electrocardiographic Changes Following Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy for Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing: A Pilot Prospective Study
By Francisco Alves de Sousa, Mariline Santos, Marta Rios and 3 others.
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is the primary driver of pediatric obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB), potentially leading to cardiac remodeling. This study evaluated the impact of adenotonsillectomy (AT) on electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters and correlated these changes with sleep metrics.
