Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery Trial (Sleep SMART)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA
(1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after
the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an
ischemic stroke.
