Can a sleep clinic diagnosis heart problems? (please note, sleep apnea is NOT the problem)?
My three year old niece was sent to a sleep clinic because sleep apnea was suspected. After the test the nurse told her mother she saw no signs of it. A few days later she received a call that she must come in April 9 to discuss some serious results. My niece has a heart murmur so we’re wondering if the test could have detected problems with her heat.

In the clinic during sleep – Heart rate, pulse rate, are also monitored – so when going through this – the murmur must have been noted – when listening the sounds for second time – As responsible clinic what the did is very good –
In some valvular heart problem the sleep is infact disturbed
God bless you and ur niece
I think you are better off going to a cardiologist
Yes the sleep study monitors your heart and your oxygen levels
