Habitual snoring is a very common problem in the adult population, with a prevalence of between 20-40%. Increasingly it is now recognised that snoring may be an independent risk factor for the development of stroke. In this proposal, we will explore the hypothesis that chronic snoring transmits a pressure wave through the tissues of the neck to the carotid artery which may damage the artery wall and subsequently lead to stroke. This may lead to new strategies to treat habitual snoring.

习惯性打鼾是成年人中非常常见的问题，患病率在20- 40%之间。现在越来越多的人认识到打鼾可能是中风发展的一个独立危险因素。在本研究中，我们将探讨慢性打鼾通过颈部组织向颈动脉传递压力波的假设，这可能会损害动脉壁，随后导致中风。这可能会导致治疗习惯性打鼾的新策略。
