Cerebrovascular Pulsatility During Rest and Exercise Reflects Hemodynamic Impairment in Stroke and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

This study tested the hypothesis that older adults with chronic stroke or cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) exhibit a greater increase in pulsatile hemodynamics during exercise compared with young and age-matched healthy adults. Middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity was acquired during 20 min of moderate intensity cycling in 51 participants from four groups (young, old, SVD and stroke).
