Why the study?
Does an elevated Framingham cardiovascular risk profile correlate with impaired cerebral vasoreactivity in elderly subjects with and without mild cognitive impairment?
Does an elevated Framingham cardiovascular risk profile correlate with impaired cerebral vasoreactivity in elderly subjects with and without mild cognitive impairment?
Elevated cardiovascular risk, as measured by the Framingham profile, is associated with impaired cerebral vasoreactivity to hypercapnia, suggesting a mechanism linking vascular burden to cognitive decline.

Supports vascular mechanisms in cognitive decline; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical application.
