An Investigation Of Simultaneous Variations In Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity And Arterial Blood Pressure During Sleep Apnea |

|---|---|---|
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a major sleep disorder with a prevalence of about 15 % among US adult population and can lead to cardiovascular diseases and stroke. In this study, we have investigated the OSA-induced concurrent rise in cerebral blood flow velocity and blood pressure in 5 positively diagnosed sleep apnea subjects. The subject population had a mean AM of 57.94 +/- 25.73 and BMI of 33.66 +/- 7.27 kg/m(2). The results of this preliminary study yielded a relatively high correlation between rise in blood pressure and rise in cerebral blood flow velocity during apnea episodes (r=0.61 +/- 0.16) compared to normal breathing (r=0.28 +/- 0.26). These findings suggest that cerebral autoregulation may be less effective during apnea episodes. |
