Obstructive sleep apnea is clinically recognized as a significant risk factor for stroke, as supported by multiple studies and observational data [1], [2], [3], and [4]. Furthermore, both conditions are frequently cited together as health risks associated with sleep deprivation [5], [6] and as contraindications for certain medical therapies [7].

measurementAn observational cohort study of 1,022 individuals found that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of 5 or higher) significantly increased the risk of stroke or death from any cause, independent of other risk factors such as hypertension.
measurementIn a 10-year observational study, patients with untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index greater than 30) had a higher incidence of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events—including myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary artery bypass surgery—compared to patients with similar severity who received CPAP treatment.
