What Is The Connection Between Sleep Apnea, Stroke And Death?

Published on Monday, 12 January 2009 08:00 from ScienceDaily

Obstructive sleep apnea decreases blood flow to the brain, elevates blood pressure within the brain and eventually harms the brain's ability to modulate these changes and prevent damage to itself. The findings may help explain why people with sleep apnea are more likely to suffer strokes and to die in their sleep.
