Advances in the Relationship between Sleep Disorders and Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-5765.2020.05.020

Abstract

Abstract:

Existing studies suggest that sleep disorders such as obstructive or central sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and insomnia are correlated with cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD), which may be bidirectional. This article reviewed recent international advances in the relationship between sleep disorders and CSVD, and provide reference for future efforts in this research field.

Key words: Sleep disorder; Cerebral small vascular disease; Heterogeneity

摘要：

现有研究提示阻塞性或中枢性睡眠呼吸暂停、不宁腿综合征、失眠等睡眠障碍疾病与脑小血管病（cerebral small vascular disease，CSVD）之间存在相互关联，这种关联可能是双向作用的。本文回顾目前国际上关于睡眠障碍与CSVD之间相互关系的最新研究进展，为该领域未来的研究方向提供参考。
