Rationale Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
disease. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered via a nasal mask during …

Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Stroke patients have a greater
incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) than the general population, and individuals …

Background Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has become the first line
of therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it remains controversial whether non-sleepy …

The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of nasal continuous positive airway
pressure (nCPAP) in ischaemic stroke patients followed for 2 yrs. Stroke patients with an …

Objective Studies suggest that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may
decrease blood pressure for patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, these …

Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and may be linked in a
bidirectional fashion to stroke, which is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality …

Study Objectives: We aimed to elucidate the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing
(SDB), effect of SDB severity on the functional outcome, and feasibility of continuous positive …

Although the incidence of strokes is not maximal during sleeping hours, several lines of
evidence make it probable that sleep in combination with breathing disorders like snoring …

Introduction Meta-analyses report that more than 50% of patients who had a stroke suffer
from moderate to severe sleep apnoea (SA), with adherence rates to positive airway …

Objectives Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy has been demonstrated to
effectively reverse the abnormal physiology of sleep apnea and improve a variety of patient …
