Stroke and Sleep apnea are associated to each other

Researchers are going to present at American Stroke Assn.'s International Stroke Conference in New Orleans, this week, that sleep apnea may lead to silent strokes and brain lesions.


Moreover, they have found that 91% of patients of stroke also had sleep apnea, after working on 57 people of age 67 (average).

"Sleep apnea is widely unrecognized and still neglected," Dr. Kepplinger of the University of Technology in Dresden, Germany in a news release. "Patients who had severe sleep apnea were more likely to have silent strokes and the severity of sleep apnea increased the risk of being disabled at hospital discharge."
