Sleep Apnea: A Novel Risk Factor in Acute Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack

Main Article Content

Darakul Pornsriniyom, MD

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disease and has been increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Stroke is a frequent disease, a second leading cause of death worldwide which generates high healthcare costs. Recent studies suggest that sleep apnea is common after stroke with the prevalence of 50-94%. OSA is emerging as one of the important risk factors for stroke.
