Epidemiological data link heavy snoring to an increased risk for stroke, an association often ascribed to hypertension and/or sleep apnea. The aim of this study was to determine whether obstructive hypopneas, central apneas, or obstructive apneas during sleep alter blood flow of the middle cerebral artery (MCA).
