Abstract:
Neurological diseases are frequently associated with sleep-related breathing disorders. In contrast patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) suffer more often from cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. Epidemiological studies have shown that OSA is common among patients with stroke, arterial hypertension or cardiovascular disease. In particular apnea-associated arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, recurrent hypoxemia and vascular inflammatory response should be considered as risk factors for the vascular system. Early diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders in neurological diseases are required to reduce the risk of subsequent cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases.
