Nocturnal Cerebral Hemodynamics in Snorers and in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study

Abstract

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) of the obstructive type causes hemodynamic consequences, leading to an increased cerebrovascular risk. The severity of SDB at which detrimental circulatory consequences appear is matter of controversy. Aim of the present study is the investigation of cerebral hemodynamics in patients with SDB of variable severity using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
