Sleep Apnea: A Novel Risk Factor in Acute Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disease and has been increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Stroke is a frequent disease, a second leading cause of death worldwide which generates high healthcare costs. Recent studies suggest that sleep apnea is common after stroke with the prevalence of 50-94%. OSA is emerging as one of the important risk factors for stroke.

The incidence of sleep apnea in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack.
Disorders of breathing during sleep are defined as cessation or reduction of air flow thorough the upper airway, accompanied by a decrease of oxygen saturation. The results of many studies underline the association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and cerebrovascular disorders. SDB, mostly obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), is believed to be an independent risk factor of stroke an...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in ischemic stroke: the role of sleep-disordered breathing.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) represents a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity after a cerebral ischemic event (acute ischemic event, ischemic stroke, or transient ischemic attack). In the present study, endothelial function and arterial stiffness were analyzed in patients who experienced a postacute ischemic event with relation to SDB, sleep disruption, and noctu...

OBJECTIVE Ischaemic stroke occurs only in 20%-40% of patients at night. The aim of the study was to compare sleep and stroke characteristics of patients with and without night time onset of acute ischaemic cerebrovascular events. METHODS A consecutive series of 110 patients with transient ischaemic attack (n=45) or acute ischaemic stroke (n=65) was studied prospectively by means of a standard...
متن کاملSleep-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 کاملScreening Sleep Disordered Breathing in Stroke Unit
In acute stroke, OSA has been found to impair rehabilitation and increase mortality but the effect of central apnea is more unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of using limited ambulatory recording system (sleep mattress to evaluate nocturnal breathing and EOG-electrodes for sleep staging) in sleep disordered breathing (SDB) diagnostics in mild acute cerebral i...
