Cerebrovascular Reactivity to Acetazolamide in Stable COPD Patients. [PDF]
Background: COPD patients may be prone to cerebral small vessel disease resulting in perivascular white matter lesions and consequent cognitive decline. The pathophysiological background of these observations is not completely understood. It is hypothesized that COPD may involve systemic vascular dysfunction extending to the brain.

Comparison of cerebrovascular reactivity tests: a pilot human study
In neurosurgery intensive care units, cerebrovascular reactivity tests for neuromonitoring are used to evaluate the status of cerebral blood flow autoregulation; lack of autoregulation indicates a poor patient outcome.

Cerebrovascular reactivity and white matter integrity [PDF]
To compare the diffusion and perfusion MRI metrics of normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) with and without impaired cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR).Seventy-five participants with moderate to severe leukoaraiosis underwent blood oxygen level-dependent CVR mapping using a 3T MRI system with precise carbon dioxide stimulus manipulation.

The aging brain and cerebrovascular reactivity
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) is a measure of vascular response to a vasoactive stimulus, and can be used to assess the health of the brain vasculature. In this current study we used different analyses of BOLD fMRI responses to CO2 to provide a number of metrics including ramp and step CVR, speed of response and transfer function analysis (TFA).

Assessing a 600-mg Loading Dose of Clopidogrel 24 Hours Prior to Pipeline Embolization Device Treatment [PDF]
Background: Clopidogrel/aspirin antiplatelet therapy routinely is administered 7-10 days before pipeline aneurysm treatment. Our study assessed the safety and efficacy of a 600-mg loading dose of clopidogrel 24 hours before Pipeline Embolization Device ...

Cerebrovascular reactivity in migraineurs
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CR) assessed by transcranial Doppler (TCD) has been evaluated among migraineurs with conflicting results. We assessed the CR using the breath holding index (BHI) among 228 migraineurs during ictal or interictal phase and 56 controls.
