Cerebrovascular hemodynamic impairment reduces blood flow velocity in middle cerebral artery segments among patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Mean difference in cerebral blood flow velocity was -7.80 cm/s, while pulsatility index was higher by 0.16 versus healthy controls.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 transcranial doppler studies assessed 395 Alzheimer's disease patients and 290 healthy controls.
