Background: Sleep apnea is increasingly being recognized as 1 of the important, modifiable
risk factors of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Sleep apnea is thought to impair the …

Background: In animal models, brief periods of hypoxemia render the brain tolerant to
subsequent ischemic insults. Sleep apnea leads to frequent episodes of nocturnal …

Objective The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence, type, and severity of sleep
apnea during the acute phase of ischemic stroke among patients either receiving or not …

Background and purpose Evidence of an association between sleep apnea (SA) and early
neurological deterioration (END) in acute phase ischemic stroke is scant. We investigated …

Study Objectives: To evaluate clinical recognition of sleep apnea and related outcomes in
patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A retrospective study of all …

Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) appears to be a cardiovascular risk factor, its
frequency in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke remains poorly known …

Study Objectives: Our goal was to investigate the evolution of prevalence, severity, and type
of sleep apnea among patients who had an ischemic stroke, with or without treatment with …

Since sleep apnea (SA) and stroke have many shared risk factors an independent
contribution of SA to the overall risk of stroke is not easily proven and has been questioned …

Abstract Study Objectives: Recent evidence indicates that sleep apnea is common in
patients with stroke. We hypothesized that the presence of sleep apnea among stroke …

Purpose Sleep disturbances are frequently reported in stroke patients and associated with
the outcome of strokes. Using sleep questionnaires, we investigated the prevalence of …
