Abstract
Our findings suggest that there was a deteriorated vasodilator response to hypercapnia in patients with OSAS. This deterioration may stem from chemoreceptors or endothelial damages that lead to vascular relaxation and vasodilatation in cerebrovascular circulation. This impaired cerebral vascular regulation may contribute to the increased risk of stroke in patients with OSAS.
