Morning declines in autoregulation, CO2 reactivity, and FMD may heighten standing-related cerebrovascular vulnerability; leaves open extension to stroke-prone populations.
Does the early morning period impair cerebral autoregulation and cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity compared to the evening in healthy humans?
Early morning reductions in cerebral autoregulation and endothelial function may facilitate the onset of cerebrovascular accidents, particularly upon standing.
Ainslie et al. (2007) studied this question.
