Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a clinically common disease that has potential harm to various systems throughout the body. OSAS is characterized by recurrent partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, causing apnea and hypoventilation. More and more studies have shown that repeated hypoxia and reoxygenation cycles of OSAS may directly or indirectly increase risks of ischemic stroke and poor outcome by causing adverse consequences such as vascular dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and mental damage. In addition, the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after stroke has also increased significantly, both of which are causal. This article reviews OSAS in patients with ischemic stroke.
