The article on prolonged apnea and the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by Steinschneider1 is very exciting in that it suggests the possibility of identifying infants at risk from SIDS before the final event. Obviously, it is of great importance to learn the mechanism causing the preceding apneic episodes. Do they represent vagal overactivity? Stimulation of the intact vagus nerve in the unanesthetized monkey causes apnea, as well as bradycardia and even arrhythmias.2 In fact, we have seen myocardial myocytolysis secondary to vagal stimulation.3
