Abstract

Cerebral autoregulation and baroreflex sensitivity are key mechanisms that maintain cerebral blood flow. This study assessed whether these control mechanisms are affected in patients with dementia and mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer disease, as this would increase the risks of antihypertensive treatment. We studied 53 patients with dementia (73.1 years [95% confidence interval (CI), 71.4-74.8]), 37 patients with mild cognitive impairment (69.2 years [95% CI, 66.4-72.0]), and 47 controls (69.4 years [95% CI, 68.3-70.5]). Beat-to-beat blood pressure (photoplethysmography), heart rate, and cerebral blood flow velocity (transcranial Doppler) were measured during 5-minute rest (sitting) and 5 minutes of orthostatic challenges, using repeated sit-to-stand maneuvers. Cerebral autoregulation was assessed using transfer function analysis and the autoregulatory index. Baroreflex sensitivity was estimated with transfer function analysis and by calculating the heart rate response to blood pressure changes during the orthostatic challenges. Dementia patients had the lowest cerebral blood flow velocity (P=0.004). During rest, neither transfer function analysis nor the autoregulatory index indicated impairments in cerebral autoregu...Continue Reading
