Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients with Vascular Pathology of the Brain

Presence and manifestation of sleep apnea syndrome in patients with cerebral vessels’ pathology have been studied. Based on inquiries of more than 4000 patients, a special screening indentification has been developed, which accuracy made up 85%. In addition an extensive polysomnographic investigation with registration of EEG, EMG, EOG, oxygen saturation, oronasal flow, breathing movements of thoracic and abdominal walls was performed. A large presentation of apnea syndrome in patients with vascular pathology is revealed, as well as differences in pattern of sleep breathing disorders.
