简要总结
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and patent foramen ovale (FOP) are considered as risk factors for stroke. OSAS generates a pressure increase in the right cavity during inspiratory efforts, which increases the number of right-left shunt embolus and therefore the risk of stroke. OSA and FOP are often thought as two separate entities, however, due to their high frequencies, they sometimes coexist and can influence the pathophysiology of each other. More researches are needed in this area to confirm this complex association and its role in triggering stroke.
详细描述
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) are considered as risk factors for stroke. In most cases, the presence of FOP has no clinical impact. Certain hemodynamic conditions inducing a right-left pressure gradient can promote the reopening of a FOP and allow the passage of blood, presenting micro or macro-thrombi, from the venous system to the arterial system, explaining the mechanism of paradoxical embolism. OSAS generates a pressure increase in the right cavity during inspiratory efforts, which increases the number of right-left shunt embolus and therefore the risk of stroke. OSA and FOP are often thought as two separate entities, however, due to their high frequencies, they sometimes coexist and can influence the pathophysiology of each other. Evidence of a clinically significant interaction and causation in the genesis of stroke remains limited. More researches are needed in this area to confirm this complex association and its role in triggering stroke.

入选标准
- •Patients who have had a cerebral or retinal infarction confirmed by brain imaging or a defined transient ischemic attack without an identifiable cause after a detailed etiological assessment
排除标准
- •Identification of a cause of ischemic stroke:
- •Atheromatous stenosis > 50% (or atherosclerotic plaque < 50% threatening) of supra aortic trunk or intracranial arteries on echodoppler of the supra aortic trunk and transcranial or scanner angiography.
- •Emboligenic heart disease : atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, thrombus in left atrium, spontaneous contrast in left atrium, decreased atrial flow, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%, LV aneurysma, left intraventricular thrombus, recent myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy ventricular dilated left with LVEF < 35%, mitral stenosis, prosthetic mitral or aortic valve, infectious and non-infectious endocarditis, valve or mural tumor, complicated aortic arch atheroma (plaque > = 4 mm, ulcerated plaque, thrombus on plaque), aortic dissection
- •Lacunar infarction symptomatic = < 1.5 cm on the CT scan, = < 2 cm on the diffusion MRI or the FLAIR.
- •No atherosclerotic arteriopathy : dissection, primary and secondary angitis, spastic angiopathy, etc...
- •Coagulopathy to come a long-term anticoagulant treatment (> 6 months) (anti-phospholipid syndrome, thrombophilia).
- •Blood disorders and cancer
- •Recent intravenous drug use (in the 6 months before the stroke).
- •Other potential causes:
- •Severe respiratory impairment or pulmonary arterial hypertension
