Differences in Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic Strokes in Sri Lanka: 7-year data from the Ragama Stroke Registry (P1.092)
CONCLUSIONS:Clinical and risk factor profiles were different between ICH and IS patients. Stroke severity and functional disability were higher among ICH patients. Study Supported by:Ragama Stroke Registry has been partly supported by research grants from the University of Kelaniya and Research Institute, International Medical Centre of Japan.Disclosure: Dr. Ranawaka has nothing to disclose.

Role of Sleep Apnea and CPAP therapy in the incidence of stroke or coronary heart disease in women.
Conclusion. In women, untreated OSA is associated with increased incidence of serious cardiovascular outcomes, particularly incident stroke. Adequate CPAP treatment seems to reduce this risk. PMID: 24673616 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Obstructive sleep apnea is independently associated with arterial stiffness in ischemic stroke patients
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a predictor of all-cause mortality and recurrent vascular events following stroke. However, few studies have investigated the pathophysiology of OSA in ischemic stroke patients. Whether OSA independently increases arterial stiffness in ischemic stroke patients is determined by measuring the carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) and via the central augmentation index (AIx). This cross-sectional study consecutively recruited 127 subacute ischemic stroke patients who were admitted to a teaching hospital for inpatient rehabilitation (median age, 61.3 years; IQR 53.6–7...
