Abstract

The study sample comprised 75 patients, median age 66 years (43 [57,3%] women), admitted within 24 hours after ischemic stroke onset. Breathing during sleep was monitored with an ambulatory device, which monitors nasal airflow and pulse oximetry. We selected patients at sleep apneaverified by respiratory monitoring to the first group (n=54) and patients without sleep - disordered breathing to the second group (n=21). Subgroup analysis found, among other things that a reverse dipper pattern does not change according to AHI. But the results indicate increased systolic BP load and low saturations associated with increased AHI in patients with stroke.
