Abstract
Sleep disorders are associated with higher risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke.
- Untreated sleep apnea correlates with poorer outcomes after stroke.
- Recent evidence suggests that disrupted sleep may contribute to increased cerebrovascular events.
- Variations in sleep duration could influence the incidence of cardiovascular events.
- Conditions such as sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and parasomnias may arise following cerebrovascular events.
- Treating sleep disorders may alleviate symptoms and potentially enhance recovery from stroke and reduce future event risk.
