Sleep Apnea-Predictor of Functional Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Sleep Apnea-Predictor of Functional Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke, Background: Sleep apnea is increasingly being recognized as 1 of the important, modifiable risk factors of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Sleep apnea is thought to impair the functional recovery following stroke., Background: Sleep apnea is increasingly being recognized as 1 of the important, modifiable risk factors of stroke and cardiovascular diseases.
