Zusammenfassung
Aims of the study: Recently, it has been reported that dynamical cerebral autoregulation (dCA) is impaired in the acute phase after a lacunar infarct (LI). Unclear is whether dCA abnormalities are still present several months post-LI in patients treated with statins. Therefore we studied dCA in patients approximately three months post-LI. dCA was estimated without provocative manoeuvres using transfer function analysis of blood pressure (BP) and cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) spectra during spontaneous blood pressure variations in supine (SP) and upright (UP) position. Methods: dCA was evaluated in 32 LI-pa…
