摘要
Goal:
Cerebrovascular impedance is modulated by a vasoactive autoregulative mechanism in response to changes in cerebral perfusion pressure. Characterization of impedance and the limits of autoregulation are important biomarkers of cerebral health. We developed a method to quantify impedance based on the spectral content of cerebral blood flow and volume at the cardiac frequency, measured with diffuse optical methods.
Methods:
In three non-human primates, we modulated cerebral perfusion pressure beyond the limits of autoregulation. Cerebral blood flow and volume were measured with diffuse correlation spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopy, respectively.
Results:
We show that impedance can be used to identify the lower and upper limits of autoregulation.
Conclusions:
This impedance method may be an alternative method to measure autoregulation and a way of assessing cerebral health non-invasively at the clinical bedside.
