Relationship of sleep apnea to functional capacity and length of hospitalization following stroke.
TL;DR: Sleep apnea is very common among stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation, and its presence is associated with worse functional impairment and a longer period of hospitalization and rehabilitation.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: More Insights on Structural and Functional Cardiac Alterations, and the Effects of Treatment With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

TL;DR: The structural and functional consequences of OSA on the heart are influenced by the severity of AHI, and these effects are reversible if the apneic episodes are abolished.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on ventricular ectopy in heart failure patients with obstructive sleep apnoea
TL;DR: Treatment of co-existing OSA by CPAP reduces the frequency of ventricular premature beats (VPBs) during sleep in association with reduced sympathetic nervous system activity, suggesting that reductions in VPBs and other ventricular arrhythmias through treatment of OSA might improve the prognosis in patients with HF.

Predictive Factors of Long-term Compliance With Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment in Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Jean-Claude Meurice,Pierre Doré,J. Paquereau,Jean-Philippe Neau,Pierre Ingrand,Jean-Jacques Chavagnat,Françoise Patte +6 more
TL;DR: The long-term acceptability of treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was studied prospectively in 44 patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and confirmed the importance of supervision of the time counter, as well as regular encouragement of patients to use the treatment as long as possible each night, to extract a maximum benefit from treatment by nasal CPAP.

Sleep deprivation effects on the activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal and growth axes: potential clinical implications
Alexandros N. Vgontzas,George Mastorakos,Edward O. Bixler,Anthony Kales,Philip W. Gold,George P. Chrousos +5 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that increased slow wave sleep postsleep deprivation is associated with decreased cortisol levels and that the enhanced GH secretion is driven by the decreased activity of the HPA axis.
