5.2 DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN AORTIC PRESSURE AUGMENTATION AND CAROTID FLOW AUGMENTATION: CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR CEREBRAL WHITE MATTER HYPERINTENSITIES

Background: Aortic stiffness and pressure wave reflection have been found to be associated with age-related cerebral microvascular disease, but the underlying mechanism remains obscure. We hypothesized that cerebral (carotid) flow augmentation potentially mediates these associations. Methods: Doppl...
