Spreading depolarization (SD) has been linked to the impairment of neurovascular coupling. However, the association between SD occurrence and cerebrovascular pressure reactivity as a surrogate of cerebral autoregulation (CA) remains unclear. Therefore, we analyzed CA using the long-pressure reactivity index (L-PRx) during SDs in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). |
Higher intracranial pressure variability (ICPV) has been associated with a more favorable cerebral energy metabolism, lower rate of delayed ischemic neurologic deficits, and more favorable outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We have hypothesized that higher ICPV partly reflects more compliant and active cerebral vessels. In this study, the aim was to further test this by investigating if higher ICPV was associated with lower cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) and higher cerebral blood flow (CBF) after aSAH. |
