Stroke in the Young: Etiologies and Risk Factors (P7.124)
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke in the young shares many of the same common modifiable risk factors as stroke in the elderly including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and tobacco abuse. Other unique disease processes also contribute to stroke in this age group, often less modifiable. Given the devastating morbidity and mortality of stroke in this age group, a larger public health effort for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in the young should be aggressively pursued.Disclosure: Dr. Govind has nothing to disclose.

Role of sleep-disordered breathing and sleep-wake disturbances for stroke and stroke recovery
Conclusions: SDB and SWD increase the risk of stroke in the general population and affect short- and long-term stroke recovery and outcome. Current knowledge supports the systematic implementation of clinical procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of poststroke SDB and SWD on stroke units.

Probable REM sleep behavior disorder and risk of stroke: A prospective study
Conclusions: Presence of pRBD was associated with a higher risk of developing stroke, including both ischemic and hemorrhagic types. Future studies with clinically confirmed RBD and a longer follow-up would be appropriate to further investigate this association.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Stroke: Determining the Mechanisms Behind their Association and Treatment Options
AbstractSleep-disordered breathing (SDB) can be a sequela of stroke caused by vascular injury to vital respiratory centers, cerebral edema, and increased intracranial pressure of space-occupying lesions. Likewise, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to increased stroke risk through local mechanisms such as impaired ischemic cerebrovascular response and systemic effects such as promoting atherosclerosis, hypercoagulability, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular-endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome. The impact of OSA on stroke outcomes has been established, yet it receives less attention in national guidelines on st...

Association of obstructive sleep apnoea (osa) with incident stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion As OSA appears to be independently associated with stroke (and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces such cardiovascular outcomes in OSA6), clinicians should look out for the symptoms in stroke patients so appropriate risk mitigation strategies may be implemented. Equally, patients with OSA but no history of stroke should receive appropriate management to lower their cardiovascular risk, be it through treatment of OSA with CPAP or modification of traditional risk factors such as obesity and hypertension.

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and Depression in Stroke Survivors (P5.292)
Conclusions:The presence of EDS is associated with moderate to severe depression in stroke survivors. This is not related solely to SDB symptoms. Patients with fatigue and EDS should be screened for depression. Future studies are also needed to explore the role that SDB plays in this relationship.Disclosure: Dr. Pham has nothing to disclose.

Bouncing back: Nolan ’s life after stroke
Although he’s only a little over a year old, Nolan Morel is a bona fide charmer. Clad in a red shirt and navy blue suspenders, he flashes a happy grin at his mother, Rosalia; his physician, Dr. Laura Lehman; and the others in the room. “Look at those dimples!” someone coos, and he giggles in response. “I can’t believe how social he’s being,” laughs Rosalia. “He wasn’t always like this.” In fact, Nolan’s first several days of life were anything but lighthearted. Just a few hours after his birth at a hospital north of Boston, he stopped breathing and had to be manually resuscitated and given oxygen. Whe...

Self-reported Sleep Duration in Relation to Incident Stroke Symptoms: Nuances by Body Mass and Race from the REGARDS Study
Background: To determine, among employed persons with low risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), if sleep duration is associated with incident stroke symptoms, independent of body mass index (BMI), and if sleep duration mediates racial differences in stroke symptoms.Methods: In 2008, 5666 employed participants (US blacks and whites, ≥45 years) from the longitudinal and nationally representative Reasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke study self-reported their average sleep duration. Participants had no history of stroke, transient ischemic attack, or stroke symptoms and were at low risk for OSA. After ...

Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on cardiac organ damage in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Background and purpose: Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiac organ damage have a crucial role in acute ischemic stroke. Our aim is to explore the relationship between OSA and cardiac organ damage in acute stroke patients. Methods: A total of 130 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled. Patients underwent full multichannel 24-h polysomnography for evaluation of OSA and echocardiography to evaluate left ventricle (LV) mass index (LV mass/BSA, LV mass/height2.7), thickness of interventricular septum (IVS) and posterior wall (LVPW), LV ejection fraction and left atrium enlargement. Informat...

Stroke Volume Predicts Nocturnal Hypoxemia in the Acute Ischemic Stroke after Intravenous Thrombolysis
The Goal: The aim of the study was to investigate whether stroke volume or the presence of ischemic stroke lesion on follow-up computed tomography 1 day after admission had association with sleep apnea among ischemic stroke patients undergoing thrombolysis. Materials and Methods: We prospectively recruited 110 consecutive ischemic stroke patients and performed computed tomography on admission and after 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis. Stroke volume was measured from post-thrombolysis computed tomography scans.
