Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring has been used mainly to detect reduced perfusion of the brain during orthostatic stress in order to assess orthostatic intolerance (OI). Many studies have investigated the use of NIRS to reveal the pathophysiology of patients with OI....
Background: Pulsatility of cerebral arteries and aortic stiffness have been associated with
white matter hyperintensities (WMH). We explored which is better correlated with the severity of WMH in a population with acute lacunar infarct.
Methods: We included patients with acute...
