Purpose There is increasing evidence of a causal interaction between obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) and white matter hyperintensity (WMH). WMH and enlarged perivascular …

Background and Objectives Our objective was to determine whether polysomnographic
(PSG) sleep parameters are associated with neuroimaging biomarkers of cerebrovascular …

Evidence on the relationship between periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) and
cerebral small vessel disease is lacking. This study aimed to assess the association …

Background and purpose Cerebral small vessel disease is common in elderly persons.
Patients with dementia or stroke frequently have cerebral small vessel disease and often …

Background: Wake-up stroke (WUS) are strokes that are noted upon awakening in patients
previously going to bed in a normal state of health. The role of sleep abnormalities in WUS is …

Abstract Study Objectives To examine the association between markers of sleep-disordered
breathing (SDB) and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume in an elderly, multiethnic …

Study Objectives: We investigated the prevalence of silent cerebrovascular lesions in
patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the correlation between OSA severity and …

Previous studies have suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be a risk factor for
stroke. In this study, we assessed that OSA is an independent risk factor of silent cerebral …

Background: Evidence of the relationship between periodic limb movements during sleep
(PLMS) and cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is limited and inconsistent. Here, we …

Background Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and altered cerebrovascular reactivity
(CVR) are associated with increased stroke risk. Nevertheless, the incidence of abnormal …
