The population is ageing worldwide, thus increasing the burden of common age-related
disorders to the individual, society and economy. Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke …

Cerebral autoregulation is a complex mechanism that serves to keep cerebral blood flow
relatively constant within a wide range of cerebral perfusion pressures. The mean flow index …

We examined the between-day reproducibility of active (squat-stand maneuvers)-and
passive [oscillatory lower-body negative pressure (OLBNP) maneuvers]-driven oscillations …

Emerging studies link vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular health to the prevalence and
rates of progression in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The brain's ability to maintain constant …

Background: Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (DCA) is the continuous counterregulation of
cerebral blood flow to fluctuations in blood pressure. DCA can become impaired after acute …

Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA), the transient response of cerebral blood flow (CBF)
to rapid changes in arterial blood pressure (BP), is usually modeled as a linear mechanism …

The human brain is possibly the most complex organ in existence. This complexity means
that it is capable of great feats, yet has ensured that it remains surprisingly poorly …

Instantaneous arterial pressure-flow (or velocity) relationships indicate the existence of a
cerebral critical closing pressure (CrCP), with the slope of the relationship expressed by the …

Cerebral autoregulation refers to the physiological mechanism that aims to maintain blood
flow to the brain approximately constant when blood pressure changes. Impairment of this …

Stroke is one of the most dreaded complications of left ventricular assist device therapy in
patients with end-stage congestive heart failure. There is strong evidence linking …
