Would the Actigraph Always be Sufficient for Sleep Analysis in Exercise-Based Studies? A Case Report of Negative Response of Sleep to Exercise

Abstract

Introduction Sleep deprivation is common after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It is mostly managed well by exercise. The number of reported post-CABG cases that respond negatively to exercise is scanty. The etiology is usually associated with the underlying sleep pathology, and how it responds to exercise. Cases with undiagnosed central sleep apnea post CABG have not been reported before.
