Sleep-disordered breathing is highly prevalent in stroke survivors, with 60 to 70 percent exhibiting the condition [1], [2], and it is recognized as a potential risk factor for developing a stroke [3], [4], [5]. Furthermore, research indicates that sleep-disordered breathing is associated with poor functional outcomes following a stroke [6].

claimRisk factors for stroke include heart disease, hypertension, alcohol abuse, transient ischemic attacks, and possibly sleep-disordered breathing, according to Diaz and Sempere (2004).
claimSleep-disordered breathing may contribute to the development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke, glucose intolerance, and diabetes.
claimSystemic effects of sleep-disordered breathing, such as altered vascular tone, inflammatory mediator levels, and hormonal changes, may contribute to the development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke, glucose intolerance, and diabetes.
