Evaluating Cardiac Impairment From Abnormal Respiratory Patterns: Insights From a Wireless Radar and Deep Learning Study.
Article in IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesAssessing the bidirectional impacts of heart function impairment and sleep-disordered breathing remains underexplored. Thus, this study analyzed respiratory patterns from a wireless radar framework to explore their associations with echocardiographic (2D-echo) measurements.
methodsBackground details, 2D-echo parameters, and biochemical data were collected from patients in a cardiology ward in northern Taiwan. Their radar-based respiratory patterns from the night before and the night of the 2D-echo were obtained, averaged, and used to derive indices such as the respiratory disturbance index (RDI) and periodic breathing (PB) cycle length, representing overall respiratory patterns. Next, retrieved data were grouped based on a 50% left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) threshold and analyzed using mean comparisons and regression models to explore relationships.
resultsPatients with an LVEF of [Formula: see text]% demonstrated significantly reduced total sleep time, higher RDI, and longer PB cycles compared to those with LVEF >50%. Each 1-event/h increase in the RDI reduced the LVEF by 0.22% (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.41% to -0.03%, p <0.05), and each 1-s increase in the PB cycle length was associated with a 0.21% LVEF reduction (95% CI: -0.35% to -0.07%). Increases in RDI and PB cycle length were associated with a heightened risk of LVEF declining to [Formula: see text]% from >50%. Subgroup analysis revealed that the PB cycle length was associated with elevated N-terminal-prohormone-brain-natriuretic-peptide (NT-proBNP) levels.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that a wireless radar framework combined with deep learning can effectively monitor respiratory patterns that are associated with cardiac function. Its contactless nature may support continuous cardiac function assessments. CLINICAL IMPACT: This study highlights the effectiveness of a wireless radar and deep learning framework for monitoring respiratory patterns that are associated with cardiac function (e.g., LVEF), underscoring its potential for long-term cardiac and sleep-disorder management.
