AB  - The relationship between arrhythmias and sleep states was investigated in 
      patients with night-type arrhythmias, which were detected by 24-hour 
      electrocardiogram recordings using the Holter Avionics system. These patients 
      were examined using all-night polygraphic recordings and sleep states were 
      divided in to 5 groups according to the standard sleep stage scoring manual as 
      stage I, II, III, IV, and REM sleep. Patients were divided into 5 groups: (1) 
      grade 2 ventricular premature contractions (VPCs), (2) grade 4a VPCs, (3) grade 
      4b VPCs, (4) supraventricular premature contractions, and (5) paroxysmal 
      tachyarrhythmias such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal 
      supraventricular tachycardia. The paroxysmal tachyarrhythmia group showed a 
      significant increase in arrhythmia incidence during REM sleep (p less than 0.05). 
      However, the subjects with other arrhythmias showed no significant increase 
      during REM sleep, but grade 2 VPCs showed a tendency to increase in sleep stage 
      IV (0.05 less than p less than 0.1). These results suggest that there are 2 types 
      of arrhythmias influenced by sleep. The first type is affected by a phasic 
      increase in sympathetic nervous tone during REM sleep and the second type is 
      related to an increase in vagal tone during the night.
