Parasympathetic and sympathetic controls on cardiovascular systems were studied during wakefulness and sleep in 8 diabetic patients (3 IDDM and 5 NIDDM), in order to detect the presence of autonomic dysfunction. In particular, cardiovascular assessment during sleep allowed to detect minimal autonomic abnormalities in the absence of a documented pathology during wakefulness. |
