Medical support is needed for subjects who snore to get a good night’s sleep. This prospective study is aimed to show how sleep disorders influence a good night sleep. One of the common sleep disorder that affects people of all ages is snoring. Snoring sound could be a sign of cardiovascular disease. Correct interpretation remains a very significant problem in dealing with respiratory sounds, such as snoring and/or breathing. Acoustic characteristics of snoring sounds, which are approximately periodic waves with noise, can be analyzed by using a multidimensional voice program MDVP. Acoustic analysis techniques give information on the mechanism, loudness, intensity and sites of obstruction of upper airways. Further conclusions can be made by comparing simultaneously gathered acoustic and electrocardiographic signals.
