Abstract：Objective To explore the characteristics of dynamic electrocardiogram ( DCG) and their clinical signifi-cance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) .Methods In this work, the results of DCG from 173 patients with OSAHS ( observation group) were compared with those from 173 subjects who presented with chest tightness, chest pain, and heart palpitations as the main symptoms ( control group) .Results The rates of the changes in arrhythmia and ST-T in observation group were much higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistical-ly significance( P<0.01) .In addition, the changes of the arrhythmia and ST-T in OSAHS group were markedly obvious at night than those at daytime, and the differences were statistically significance( P<0.01) .Conclusion OSAHS can lead to a variety of DCG abnormalities, and the abnormalities mainly occur in the night, which is helpful for guiding the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.
