Physical activity for obstructive sleep apnea after stroke? A pilot study assessing the contribution of body fluids
CONCLUSION: An 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.PMID:36327028 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-022-02735-7

Role of vitamin D in the association between pre-stroke sleep quality and poststroke depression and anxiety
CONCLUSION: Decreased serum vitamin D levels at admission are associated with a high risk for PSD and PSA in patients with poor pre-stroke sleep quality during the early stages of AIS.PMID:37542680 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-023-02894-1

May stroke cause a Complex Sleep Apnea-CompSA?
We have read with great interest the article by De Paolis et al. , on the acute shift from obstructive (OSAHS) to Central Sleep Apnea–Hypopnea Syndrome (CSAHS) during the acute phase of stroke, in one patient under CPAP treatment for one year before stroke. Effectiveness of CPAP in acute strokes has been recently reported . This case instead, poses the question as to whether there are subgroups of patients that do not benefit from CPAP, and how to select them. Do the patients have Complex Sleep Apneas-CompSA? CompSA are a heterogeneous group of CSAHS that emerge upon exposure to CPAP, but that exist independently from th...

Daytime sleepiness and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke: results from the Nurses’ Health Study II
Conclusions: Daytime sleepiness was not an independent risk factor for CVD in this cohort of women, but rather, was associated with sleep characteristics and metabolic abnormalities that are risk factors for CVD.

Association of inflammation and oxidative stress with obstructive sleep apnea in ischemic stroke patients
• The level of C-reactive protein is decreased in stroke patients with severe OSA.• The role of OSA in inflammation is attenuated in stroke patients.• An adaptive antioxidative response emerges in stroke patients with severe OSA.• The adaptive antioxidative response outweighs the proinflammatory effect, due to severe OSA.

Restless legs syndrome in stroke patients
• The association between acute stroke/TIA and RLS was examined.• We interviewed patients hospitalized with acute stroke/TIA for the presence of RLS.• These patients were matched by age and gender to a control group• There was a significant association between RLS and stroke/TIA.• This association remained after adjustment for common cardiovascular risk factors.

Infarct location and sleep apnea: evaluating the potential association in acute ischemic stroke
• The relationship between infarction location and sleep apnea was examined.• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is present in the majority of stroke patients.• Infarct location cannot reliably be used to identify a higher risk of OSA.• There are no clearly identifiable OSA predictive factors in acute stroke patients.• Polysomnography should be considered in all acute stroke patients.

Sleep-disordered breathing among acute ischemic stroke patients in Brazil
• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very frequent in Brazilian patients with acute stroke.• Severe OSA was associated with a poor long-term functional outcome following stroke.• OSA is a treatable condition and therefore its treatment seems to be a potential target to improve outcome of acute stroke patients.

Sleep and Stroke
Evidence increasingly suggests sleep disorders are associated with higher risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke. Strong data correlate untreated sleep apnea with poorer stroke outcomes and more recent evidence implicates sleep disruption as a possible etiology for increased cerebrovascular events. Also, sleep duration may affect incidence of cardiovascular events. In addition, sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and parasomnias can occur as a result of cerebrovascular events. Treatment of sleep disorders improve sleep-related symptoms and may also improve stroke recovery and risk of future events.

High prevalence of post-stroke sleep disordered breathing in mexican americans
• Mexican American (MA) stroke patients have a high burden of SDB.• SDB risk factors and stroke severity do not explain greater prevalence of SDB in MAs.• Physicians treating MA stroke patients should have a high index of suspicion for SDB.

Atrial fibrillation is a major cause of stroke in apneic patients: a prospective study
• We investigated the association between SDB and stroke mechanism• We compared ASCO and TOAST classification to detect stroke mechanism• SDB was detected using polygraphic recording during hospitalization• We observed an higher rate of stroke related to atrial fibrillation in SDB patients
