Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Low ANS activity level is associated with severe cardiac and cerebral events, as well as to death from any cause in the general population. It is even associated with sleep apnea/hypopnea.
