Overnight Effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Its Treatment on Stroke Volume in Patients with Heart Failure
Conclusions In patients with HF, co-existing OSA causes overnight declines in SV and CO that are prevented through reversal of OSA by CPAP.

Habitual snoring and risk of stroke: A meta-analysis of prospective studies
Habitual snoring (HS), which is defined as snoring more than three nights per week, occurs among approximately 33% of the general population [1]. Emerging evidence suggests this increase in HS problems may be due to hypertension [2], diabetes mellitus [3], metabolic syndrome [4], and intima-media thickness (IMT) [5]. In addition, there was mounting evidence for an association between HS and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality [6–8]. However, the role of HS in stroke is still uncertain.

Clinical Reasoning: A 66-year-old man with recurrent multi-territory infarcts
A 66-year-old man was referred to our center for evaluation of recurrent infarcts in multiple vascular territories over the preceding 6 months (figure 1). The patient first presented with a 3-month, stuttering course of transient neurologic deficits, including right arm and leg hemiparesis, expressive aphasia, and right homonymous hemianopia. He was initially evaluated at a community Stroke Prevention Clinic. His medical history was significant for several classic vascular risk factors: coronary artery disease requiring a coronary artery bypass graft, dyslipidemia for which he was taking atorvastatin 20 mg daily, and obstr...

Sleep apnea, hypertension, and hemorrhagic stroke – Déjà vu all over again
A wealth of evidence has led obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to be recognized as a prominent and potentially correctable health hazard. Yoshida et al1 report on a patient presenting with obesity, dyslipidemia, history of poorly controlled hypertension and hemorrhagic stroke, who was subsequently diagnosed with OSA and experienced recurrence of intracerebral hemorrhage. They highlight the dramatic consequences of untreated OSA, particularly when occurring in conjunction with additional risk factors.

Insomnia is associated with risk of future cardiovascular events irrespective of comorbidities
Commentary on: Hsu CY, Chen YT, Chen MH, et al.. The association between insomnia and increased future cardiovascular events: a nationwide population-based study. Psychosom Med 2015;77:743–51. Context Increasing evidence suggests a relatively strong association between insomnia and risk of future cardiovascular events. However, the exact nature of this association is poorly understood and causality remains uncertain due to methodological limitations in prior literature. An important methodological shortcoming was the inadequate consideration of comorbidities in several previous studies. Insomnia symptoms clearly over...

Unattended Hospital and Home Sleep Apnea Testing Following Cerebrovascular Events
Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) is an alternative to polysomnography for the detection of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We assessed the feasibility of HSAT as an unattended screening tool for patients with a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

A potential impact of Helicobacter pylori infection on both obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation-related stroke
Poli et al [1] concluded that atrial fibrillation (AF) was a major source of stroke in patients with high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Correlation between Calpain-10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnoea syndrome with ischemic stroke in a Chinese population: A population-based study
Conclusion: These findings indicate that the Calpain-10 SNP 43 may be related to OSAHS with IS, with SNP 43 GG genotype as a risk factor for OSAHS with IS.

Evaluation of Cerebrovascular Reactivity in Subjects with and without Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and altered cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) are associated with increased stroke risk. Nevertheless, the incidence of abnormal CVR in patients with OSA is uncertain due to the high variability in the way CVR is measured both within and between studies. We hypothesized that a standardized CVR with a consistent vasoactive stimulus and cerebral blood flow (CBF) measure would be reduced in patients with severe OSA compared with healthy controls.

Relationship between sleep disordered breathing and coronary artery calcium in ischemic stroke patients
Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular mortality. In ischemic patients, the major cause of death during follow-up is coronary artery disease. Coronary calcium score (CAC) is a score measured from quantification of calcified plaques with chest computed tomography. CAC has been shown to be associated with future risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality. Several studies showed the positive correlation between sleep apnea and CAC in normal population, which may be contributed by progressive worsening of atherosclerosis.
