Cerebral hemodynamic changes in stroke during sleep-disordered breathing.

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) negatively impacts stroke outcome. Near-infrared spectroscopy showed the acute cerebral hemodynamic effects of SDB. METHODS Eleven patients (7 men, age 61±13 years) with acute/subacute middle cerebral artery stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 10±7) and SDB (apnea-hypopnea index 32±28/hour) were assessed with nocturnal polysomnography and bilateral near-infrared spectroscopy recording. Cerebral oxygenation and hemoglobin concentration changes during obstructive and central apneas were analyzed. RESULTS During SDB, near-infrared spectroscopy showed asymmetrical patterns of cerebral oxygenation and hemoglobin concentrations with changes significantly larger on the unaffected compared with the affected hemisphere. Brain tissue hypoxia was more severe during obstructive compared with central apneas. CONCLUSIONS Profound cerebral deoxygenation effects of SDB occurred in acute/subacute stroke. These changes may contribute to poor outcome, arising in the possibility of a potential benefit of SDB treatment in stroke management.

Sleep-related breathing disorders and risk of stroke.
BACKGROUND Stroke and sleep-related breathing disorders are both common and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Several recent large epidemiological studies have shown a strong association between these 2 disorders independent of known risk factors for stroke. This article will outline the scientific basis for this relationship and suggest sleep-related breathing disorders ...
متن کاملSleep-disordered breathing and stroke.
Sleep-related breathing disorders are strongly associated with increased risk of stroke independent of known risk factors. The direction of causation favors sleep-disordered breathing leading to stroke rather than the other way around, although definitive proof of this awaits the results of prospective cohort studies. If causal, even a moderately elevated risk of stroke coupled with the high pr...

R ecently, sleep-disordered breathing and nocturnal hypoxia have been recognized to increase the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Kirkham et al reported that nocturnal hypoxemia was a predictor of future cerebrovascular events in sickle-cell disease. However, it remains unclear whether nocturnal hypoxemic episodes directly lead to nocturnal onset stroke, because other predisposing conditions mi...
متن کاملCardiovascular morbidity and obstructive sleep apnea.
The repetitive respiratory events that characterize obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are each followed by abrupt increases in heart rate and in pulmonary and systemic artery pressure and by sudden decreases in right and left ventricular stroke volume. The changes in systemic pressure may be profound, with patients who are normotensive while awake having systolic pressures approaching 300 mm Hg aft...

OBJECTIVE Sleep-disordered breathing describes a spectrum of upper airway obstruction in sleep from simple primary snoring, estimated to affect 10% of preschool children, to the syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea. Emerging evidence has challenged previous assumptions that primary snoring is benign. A recent report identified reduced attention and higher levels of social problems and anxiety/de...
