Clinical course and risk factors for sleep disturbance in patients with ischemic stroke
ConclusionThe prevalence rates of sleep disturbance before and during the acute and chronic stroke periods were 34.3%, 37.4%, and 29.7%, respectively. The incidence of stroke-related insomnia was 15.6%. Patients with insomnia before stroke may recover after the stroke. Atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and mood disturbance were associated with a higher risk of sleep disturbance in the acute stroke period, whereas low education and mood disturbance were associated with insomnia in the chronic stroke period.

Clinical Manifestation of Depression after Stroke: Is It Different from Depression in Other Patient Populations?
Conclusions The findings suggest that depression after stroke is not a different type of depression. This finding indicates that all depressive symptoms should be evaluated in stroke patients, including somatic symptoms.

Sleep disorders of acute thalamic stroke and its influence on plasma IL-17.
Authors: Li Q, Zhao X, Gong DH, Geng YM, Zhang HL, Bi PX Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep disorders in acute thalamus stroke patients and plasma IL-17 levels and the mechanism through which inflammatory reactions develop in stroke. The study included two groups of patients: an experimental group consisting of 30 patients with thalamus stroke who received treatment at the Affiliated Hong Qi Hospital of Mu Dan Jiang Medical University during October 2015 to October 2016 and a control group consisting of 15 healthy volunteers. All the subjects included in the study were ...

The Association of Lesion Location and Sleep Related Breathing Disorder in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionWe found no association of lesion location and SRBD in stroke patients, whereas established risk factors for SRBD, known from general population, were significantly associated with SRBD. Given the high prevalence of SRBD in stroke patients, these findings suggest that cerebral ischemia facilitates the occurrence of SRBD in patients with pre-existing risk factors rather than causing it by damaging specific central nervous system structures. Our findings can be used to identify stroke patients who might benefit from polygraphy screening.

Chronic Conditions and Sleep Problems among Adults Aged 50 years or over in Nine Countries: A Multi-Country Study
Conclusions Identifying co-existing sleep problems among patients with chronic conditions and treating them simultaneously may lead to better treatment outcome. Clinicians should be aware of the high risk for sleep problems among patients with multimorbidity. Future studies are needed to elucidate the best treatment options for comorbid sleep problems especially in developing country settings.

Sleep disordered breathing has minimal association with retinal microvascular diameters in a non-diabetic sleep clinic cohort
ConclusionNo major SDB associations with CRAE or CRVE were identified, although the RFM/CPAP intervention reduced evening CRVE for severe OSA patients. Implications for cerebro-vascular disease risk remain uncertain. Trial registrationThe protocol was registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (Trial Id: ACTRN12620000694910).

Lifestyle and Risk of Hypertension: Follow-Up of a Young Pre-Hypertensive Cohort.
CONCLUSION: Healthy BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m(2)) and sleep duration (6-8 h/day) were associated with a lower risk of the occurrence of hypertension in pre-hypertension patients. PMID: 26283878 [PubMed - in process]

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Links Betwen Pathophysiology and Cardiovascular Complications.
CONCLUSIONS: The treatment with continuous positive airways pressure (cPAP) is the gold standard for OSAS and was able to positively influence all the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for cardiovascular diseases. Long-term cPAP improved endothelial function and hemorheology, reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, and decreased the levels of metalloproteases.

Restless legs syndrome and cardiovascular diseases: A case-control study
ConclusionDespite some limitations in the design of this study, we found that most of the treated patients for primary RLS had no association with CVD and hypertension after controlling for key potential confounders. Comorbid CVD or hypertension was associated with cardiovascular risk factors, but not with RLS features except for older age at onset.

Patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease - Double trouble.
Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease while atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Both diseases share associated risk factors - hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, obesity and smoking. Moreover, inflammation plays a causative role in both diseases. The prevalence of CAD in patients with AF is from 17% to 46.5% while the prevalence of AF among patients with CAD is low and it is estimated from 0.2% to 5%. AF is a well-established factor of poor short- and long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is associ...

Detection of sleep breathing sound based on artificial neural network analysis
Publication date: March 2018 Source:Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, Volume 41 Author(s): Takahiro Emoto, Udantha R. Abeyratne, Kenichiro Kawano, Takuya Okada, Osamu Jinnouchi, Ikuji Kawata Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is known to cause daytime drowsiness and an association with diseases such as Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. A polysomnography (PSG) test is the traditional method for diagnosing OSAHS. However, this test is expensive, inconvenient, and requires the placement of body contact sensors during sleep. Recently, in several studies, the snoring/breathing episode...

Role of the circadian system in cardiovascular disease
All species organize behaviors to optimally match daily changes in the environment, leading to pronounced activity/rest cycles that track the light/dark cycle. Endogenous, approximately 24-hour circadian rhythms in the brain, autonomic nervous system, heart, and vasculature prepare the cardiovascular system for optimal function during these anticipated behavioral cycles. Cardiovascular circadian rhythms, however, may be a double-edged sword. The normal amplified responses in the morning may aid the transition from sleep to activity, but such exaggerated responses are potentially perilous in individuals susceptible to adver...
