The article indicates that the condition is little known and there are few studies.  Long-term monitoring may provide more information, but whether that information may be useful or not is, again, not known.

This is very specialized stuff.  Have you a background in physiology?  Are you or is anyone you know afflicted with this condition?

In any case, I think you want to post here, where docs actually respond:

I've never really heard of this condition before your post.  That is why I hesitated to respond.  But I did run a search and came up with the following scientific research regarding the condition... http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/358/19/2063

This info is from the New England Journal of Medicine.  In the end, it looks like no one is really sure if it's completely benign or not.....so....I still don't have any real information for you.  But perhaps you can locate some of the source information from the journal to help your research.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
