Benefits in quality of life following an obstructive sleep apnea screening and treatment program in patients with acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Although more evidence is needed, a significant improvement in QOL was suggested after our OSA intervention, particularly in patients with good CPAP adherence.PMID:36782347 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7604.2022359

Obstructive sleep apnea in neurological diseases : Specially as a risk factor for stroke.
Abstract Neurological diseases are frequently associated with sleep-related breathing disorders. In contrast patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) suffer more often from cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. Epidemiological studies have shown that OSA is common among patients with stroke, arterial hypertension or cardiovascular disease. In particular apnea-associated arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, recurrent hypoxemia and vascular inflammatory response should be considered as risk factors for the vascular system. Early diagnosis and treatment o...

Severe sleep apnea linked to increased risk of stroke, cancer, death
Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea is independently associated with an increased risk of stroke, cancer and death. Results of the 20-year follow-up study show that people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea were four times more likely to die (hazard ratio = 4.2), nearly four times more likely to have a stroke (HR = 3.7), three times more likely to die from cancer (HR = 3.4), and 2.5 times more likely to develop cancer. Results were adjusted for potential confounding factors such as body mass index, smoking status, total cholesterol and blood pressure.

Obstructive sleep apnea and the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Prevention of thromboembolism with oral anticoagulant agents is an important treatment for patients with AF. CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score has been widely used as the initial approach to assess future stroke risk among AF patients. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common breathing disorder associated with substantial cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It has been reported as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke [1–4].

Stroke-sleep disorder breathing
Publication date: Available online 23 February 2015 Source:Apollo Medicine Author(s): Pushpendra N. Renjen , Dinesh Chaudhari , Sudha Kansal , Mahir Meman Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVA) are common disorders in general population and share many common risk factors as age, gender, family history and obesity. However some of the strongest pathophysiological triggers for stroke are hypertension, atrial arrhythmias and atherosclerosis. Untreated OSA also contributes to these issues. Untreated sleep disorder breathing (SDB) such as OSA can lead to strokes, and strokes in the absence of prior...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation: Is There A Correlation or Not?
We have read with great interest the article recently published by Chin Chang et al. entitled “Obstructive sleep apnea and the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation” [1]. However, we have some concerns about article. Our first concern is about CHA2DS2-VASc scores of the study groups. The CHA2DS2-VASc score evaluates factors such as vascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes as contributors to stroke risk. Although subjects with concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) had a higher percentage of hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, and peripheral arteria...

Is obstructive sleep apnea associated with the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most important preventable causes of ischemic stroke. Current guidelines recommend assessing the thromboembolic risk by either CHADS2 or CHA2DS2-VASc scores [1]. Unfortunately, both scores base only on age and previously diagnosed comorbidities, and tend to omit many important aspects that strongly influence patients’ risk and prognosis. Factors such as left atrial morphology and function or chronic kidney disease were previously shown to be associated with higher risk of stroke and influence the necessity of anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation patients [2,3].

Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Hospitalized Transient Ischemic Attack Stroke Patients Using the STOP-Bang Questionnaire
Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. The purpose of this study was to examine obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk as measured by the STOP-Bang Questionnaire among hospitalized adults diagnosed with transient ischemic attack or stroke. Although OSA is considered an independent risk factor for both, patients are not routinely screened for this particular sleep disorder. Three hundred patients admitted to a large midwestern medical center completed the STOP-Bang Questionnaire.

Spontaneous Improvement in Both Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Cognitive Impairment after Stroke
Knowledge available about the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cognitive impairment after stroke is limited. The evolution of OSA and cognitive performance after stroke is not sufficiently described.

Obstructive sleep apnea exaggerates cognitive dysfunction in stroke patients
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common in stroke survivors. It potentially worsens the cognitive dysfunction and inhibits their functional recovery. However, whether OSA independently damages the cognitive function in stroke patients is unclear. A simple method for evaluating OSA-induced cognitive impairment is also missing.
