Short- and long-term continuous positive airway pressure usage in the post-stroke population with obstructive sleep apnea
ConclusionsWe demonstrated that the long-term usage of CPAP therapy is possible with most of the attrition occurring in the first 3  months. Upfront healthcare resource allocation to CPAP initiation and usage in this population may improve longer-term usage.

Extended Risk Factors for Stroke Prevention.
Authors: Zhang S, Zhang W, Zhou G Abstract Stroke causes disability and high mortality, while it can be prevented by increasing public awareness of risk factors. The common known risk factors are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, smoking, alcohol consumption, low physical activity, overweight and hypercholesterolemia. However, the deep understanding of risk factors is limited. Moreover, more risk factor emerges in recent years. To further increase the awareness of risk factors for stroke prevention, this review indicates the reasonable application of antihypertensive agents according to the age-depe...

Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Coronary Artery Calcium in Patients With Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Our findings indicate a relationship between coronary atherosclerotic burden measured by the CAC score and the severity of sleep apnea. Performing polysomnography could be useful for investigating the severity of hidden coronary artery disease among these patients.

Pathophysiologic mechanisms, neuroimaging and treatment in wake-up stroke.
Abstract Wake-up stroke (WUS) or ischemic stroke occurring during sleep accounts for 14%-29.6% of all ischemic strokes. Management of WUS is complicated by its narrow therapeutic time window and attributable risk factors, which can affect the safety and efficacy of administering intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). This manuscript will review risk factors of WUS, with a focus on obstructive sleep apnea, potential mechanisms of WUS, and evaluate studies assessing safety and efficacy of IV t-PA treatment in WUS patients guided by neuroimaging to estimate time of symptom onset. The authors used PubMe...

Primary Prevention of Acute Stroke.
Abstract Primary Prevention of Acute Stroke Abstract. Strokes are frequent. Vascular risk factors are increasing the stroke risk. Most vascular risk factors are treatable. Their therapy is important in the primary prevention of stroke. According to the INTERSTROKE study, arterial hypertension, inactivity, overweight, dyslipidemia, smoking, unhealthy diet, cardiac pathologies such as major arrhythmia, diabetes mellitus, stress/depression and overconsumption of alcohol are the most important treatable vascular risk factors. In this article, we will also report on at present less well known treatable vascular risk fa...

Can respiratory muscle training therapy effectively manage obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after stroke?: A protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: The findings of this study will assess the present evidence for the benefits and harms of RMTT for treating OSAS after stroke, and will inform clinical practice and future research. PROSPERO registration number: PROSPERO CRD42020170355.

Association between the high risk for obstructive sleep apnea and intracranial carotid artery calcification in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThis study showed that the presence of calcium in symptomatic intracranial ICA was related to high risk for OSA in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Trazodone improves obstructive sleep apnea after ischemic stroke: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover pilot study
ConclusionsObstructive sleep apnea with comorbid ischemic stroke may be a distinctive phenotype which responds quite well to trazodone, decreasing OSA severity without increasing nocturnal hypoxia.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov: NCT04162743, 2019/11/10.

Assessment of Atrial Fibrosis and Its Implications in Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke
AbstractPurpose of reviewCardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) can be used to accurately define atrial fibrosis burden and is increasingly available, which has led to a renaissance in our understanding of atrial fibrosis as a major component of the atrial disease substrate. The purpose of this review is to provide information on our current understanding of atrial fibrosis and its relation to atrial fibrillation (AFib) and stroke, highlight its implications in the treatment of these conditions, and discuss potential therapies for atrial fibrosis.Recent findingsCMRI-defined atrial fibrosis has a proven utility in strati...

Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with cognitive impairment in minor ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that OSA has significant effects on cognition impairment in patients with minor ischemic stroke and that  hypoxemia may be a potential pathophysiological mechanism of OSA-induced cognitive impairment.

Physical activity for obstructive sleep apnea after stroke? A pilot study assessing the contribution of body fluids
ConclusionAn acute bout of physical activity reduced OSA classification based on AHI (from moderate to mild) and sleep fragmentation. Our results provide preliminary evidence of a possible link between physical activity in patients after stroke as an intervention to counteract OSA severity and improve sleep.
