Why the study?
Does VMR assessed by TCD correlate with VMR assessed by NIRS in patients with carotid artery disease?
Does VMR assessed by TCD correlate with VMR assessed by NIRS in patients with carotid artery disease?
TCD and NIRS measurements of vasomotor reactivity correlate positively in patients with carotid artery disease, suggesting complementary utility in assessing cerebral hemodynamics.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports complementary TCD-NIRS VMR assessment in carotid disease; leaves open impact on outcomes or practice.
Circulatory assessment of VMR in proximal cerebral vessels by TCD correlates positively to functional measurements of VMR in microcirculation by NIRS in CARAD patients.
