ABSTRACT
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA),the most common type of sleep disordered breathing was closely associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke.It has been demonstrated that OSA is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke.Its pathogenic mechanism includes atherosclerosis,coagulation abnormalities and cerebral hemodynamic changes caused by long-term periodic hypoxia hypoxemia and hypercapnia.The prognosis of ischemic stroke patients with OSA is poor.Therefore,it needs to be treated early to avoid further damage to brain tissue and reduce the mortality.
