  • MRI measures of middle cerebral artery diameter in conscious humans during simulated orthostasis.

    Serrador JM, Picot PA, Rutt BK, Shoemaker JK, Bondar RL. Stroke. 2000; 31 (7): 1672-8

    The relationship between middle cerebral artery (MCA) flow velocity (CFV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) is uncertain because of unknown vessel diameter response to physiological stimuli. The purpose of this study was to directly examine the effect of a simulated orthostatic stress (lower body negative pressure [LBNP]) as well as increased or decreased end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (P(ET)CO(2)) on MCA diameter and CFV.
