Background Obstructive sleep apnea ( OSA ) is present in 60% to 70% of stroke patients. Cerebral vasoreactivity in patients with stroke and OSA has not been well studied and could identify a new pathophysiologic mechanism with potential therapeutic intervention. We aimed to determine whether risk categories for OSA are associated with cerebral vasoreactivity in stroke patients. Methods and Results In this cross‐sectional study of a cohort of patients with stroke, we used clinical questionnaires (Sleep ...
