According to Dr Olga Parra conducting joint research team from University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, difficulty sleeping or 'sleep apnea' can have an impact on the increased risk of stroke that resulted in death. Difficulties during sleep may be caused by periodic disturbances while taking a breath.
This could be a new risk of a death caused by stroke. Difficulty to sleep or 'sleep apnea' is expected to experience nearly 20% of people and was experiencing breathing problems at least during intervals of 10 seconds or more that can be experienced over 300 times in one night.
In his research, Dr Olga Parra involving 161 patients stroke patients to see the relationship between the risk of stroke with 'sleep apnea'. "Our study is the first time a mention of the relationship between 'sleep apnea' and strokes that can cause death," he said. That relationship is very clear that 'sleep apnea' is a respiratory disturbance during sleep due to obstruction of airflow.
Dr Olga Parra started monitoring for stroke patients after the hospital discovered the reality of patients who suffered a stroke after a disturbance during sleep. For almost 30 months doing research, Dr Olga Parra face the fact that 22 of 161 patients died.
Half of the 22 patients had suffered a stroke the second stage. Patients with the highest of the 161 patients that were patients 'sleep apnea' and occupied the highest risk of experiencing a stroke. Leadership team concludes Dr Olga Parra, published by the European Respiratory Journal.
Stroke is a disease that causes most deaths and occurs when blood flow to the brain experience obstacles. Because experiencing barriers to the flow of oxygen can not flow to the brain. According to WHO in 2002 estimated 5.5 million people earlier deaths worldwide due to stroke.
Commenting on the results of research that Dr Olga Parra, Ludger Grote of Sahlgrenska Hospital, Sweden, said the research was to make people more and understand the role of 'sleep apnea' in patients with stroke. "Studies Dr Olga Parra clarify the potential of sleep apnea in stroke patients. It could be a consideration to look at the implications for management of stroke."
Now Dr Olga Parra will disseminate the results of their study to a rehabilitation center 'sleep apnea' all over Spain to reduce the number of deaths from stroke. Five years ahead Dr Olga Parra raised hopes that a new study.
