Predictors of changes in cerebral perfusion and oxygenation during obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder. Severe OSAS defined as apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 30/h is a risk factor for developing cerebro-cardiovascular diseases. The mechanisms of how repetitive sleep apneas/hypopneas damage cerebral hemodynamics are still not we...
