Breathing patterns and associated circulatory fluctuations may reflect the action of various regulatory mechanisms as well as mechanical influences of breathing on the circulation. Thus, the study of such patterns can enhance our knowledge of these mechanisms, both in normal and pathological conditions. In this review, literature is evaluated that provides insight into the breath-to-breath variation of respiration in quietly breathing adults. Also when respiration is seemingly random, deterministic patterns in the respiratory variability can often be discerned. The various methods used in the recognition of such patterns and their possible interpretation are discussed. Furthermore, the question is addressed how respiratory variability can affect the circulation and how this can be studied by analysing the time relationships of respiratory and circulatory parameters. This may add to both the understanding of normal cardiovascular regulation and to insight into cardiovascular disturbances under unstable respiratory conditions. As examples of such circumstances, some common conditions are discussed that are often, though not always, associated with pathology, viz. Cheyne-Stokes respiration, snoring and the sleep apnoea syndrome.
