1. A method of detecting sleep apnea in a patient, which comprises the steps of:

  • sensing an EKG signal generated by the patient'"'"'s heart, amplifying the sensed EKG signal in separate paths of high input impedance and of considerably lower impedance to produce two different signals, and differentially amplifying said two signals to detect changes in the patient'"'"'s ventilation, to identify the absence of ventilation as a potential episode of sleep apnea.
