OBJECTIVE
The reduction in hypercapnic cerebral vascular reactivity that occurs in the morning after sleep is associated with an increased risk of cerebral ischemia and stroke. It is not known if the cerebral vascular response to hypoxia is similarly reduced in the morning, but such a reduction
Ventilatory and heart-rate responses to hypercapnia were evaluated by a CO2 rebreathing technique in 56 patients with acute ischemic stroke and 14 normal controls. Both ventilatory and heart-rate responses were increased in patients with hemispheral lesions, but not in patients with brainstem
We studied the expression of chaperone GRP-78 and transcription factor NF-kB during the development of ischemic tolerance of the brain after combined and isolated exposure to hypoxia and hypercapnia. Combined exposure to hypoxia and hypercapnia maximally increased the expression of chaperone GRP-78
White sturgeon rank among the most CO₂-tolerant fish species examined to date. We investigated whether this exceptional CO₂ tolerance extended to the heart, an organ generally viewed as acidosis intolerant. Maximum cardiac output (Q(max)) and maximum cardiac power output (PO(max)) were assessed
To show relationship between degree of carotid arterial stenosis and cerebral blood flow reactivity (RES%) to induced hypercapnia, fluorine-18-fluoromethane and positron emission tomography (PET) was used to study 18 patients with carotid distribution transient ischaemic attacks (TIA), all free of
The effect of profound hypercapnia on acute hypoxic respiratory failure is evaluated. Eight dogs were subjected to oleic acid-induced acute respiratory failure. Four dogs were ventilated normally, and four dogs were made hypercapneic by rebreathing exhaled CO2. In the hypercapneic animals, heart
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between cerebral hemodynamic changes and the evolution of neurological deficit after stroke.
METHODS
We included 65 patients with non-lacunar stroke admitted to a rehabilitation hospital within 4 weeks from the event. An evaluation
BACKGROUND
Autoregulation of blood flow that maintains steady perfusion over the range of systemic blood pressure is compromised by stroke.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether cerebral vasoregulation is impaired in stroke during orthostatic stress.
METHODS
Subjects included 30 control subjects, 30 with
Vasoreactivity to hypercapnia has been used for assessing cerebrovascular tone and control altered by ischemic stroke. Despite the high prognostic potential, traits of hypercapnia-induced hemodynamic changes have not been fully characterized in relation with baseline vascular states and brain tissue
OBJECTIVE
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an in-dependent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The origin of diabetic microangiopathy is multifactorial; it affects all layers of the artery wall, causing endothelial and vasoreactivity impairment. The incidence of cerebral vasoreactivity failure in
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis that in a swine model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with permissive hypercapnia, inhaled nitric oxide would improve transpulmonary vascular mechanics and right ventricular workload while not changing intrinsic right ventricular
We compared synthetic and proliferative activity of brain cells in rats exposed hypoxia, hypercapnia, or both prior to experimental focal stroke. The mean number of nucleolus organizer regions in penumbra neurons did not change after normobaric hypoxia, but increased after permissive hypercapnia or
We tested the hypothesis that integrated sympathetic and cardiovascular reflexes are modulated by systemic CO2 differently in hypoxia than in hyperoxia (n = 7). Subjects performed a CO2 rebreathe protocol that equilibrates CO2 partial pressures between arterial and venous blood and that elevates end
