Abstract

Sleep-disordered breathing (obstructive and central sleep apnea) is common in persons who have had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This article describes both sleep-disordered breathing and CVAs and reviews the related risk factors that link them together. In addition, the article discusses sleep-disordered breathing after CVA. The article concludes by presenting the clinical implications of this topic for nurses.
