| Summary |
"The relationship between sleep disorders - in particular sleep apnea, a highly prevalent condition - and common vascular disturbances such as stroke and hypertension is an area of active research. Summarizing the clinical evidence to date between sleep disorders and vascular pathology, this is the first time a comprehensive overview of this relationship has been covered in a single volume. Bringing together some of the world's most renowned authors in the field, Sleep, Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease contains recommended treatment plans - allowing for rapid and accurate diagnosis and management of patients - enabling learning from real experience. Of interest, not only, to specialists who intervene in diagnosis and management of sleep and stroke disorders such as neurologists, cardiologists and pulmonologists, the book will also be of value to primary-care practitioners, allowing them to arrive at better diagnoses and management of sleep and vascular disorders"--Provided by publisher. |

"That sleep is a function of the brain is by now a cliche and yet many clinicians have classified sleep disorders in the pulmonary section, an incomprehensible phenomenon of modern clinical sciences. Sleep originates in the brain and its alterations disturb brain function. Somewhere in this circuit lies sleep apnea, the most insidious and pervasive of all sleep disturbances, which explains only partially why sleep is viewed as a pulmonary subspecialty"--Provided by publisher. |
