78 patients with acute ischemic stroke in the first 5 days of the disease и 20 patients with chronic cerebrovascular diseases - dyscirculatory encephalopathy and residual stage of ischemic stroke, had examined with cardiorespiratory monitoring. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) was detected in 88% of patients with ischemic stroke, including obstructive (87% of patients) and central (13% of patients) type. In half of the stroke patients, SDB was moderate and severe. The development of central sleep apnea is associated with the severity of acute neurologic symptoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
