The direct effects of autonomic excitation on CBF appear relatively minor, however; the vagus, sympathetic nerves and adrenal medullary hormones profoundly alter CBF indirectly through changes in MVo2. In the eschaemic heart with atheromatous occlusion of large vessels there is a reduced capacity for autoregulation, and nutrient flow is more dependent on pressure gradient. Hypertension and valvular disorders are often associated with raised MVo2 but associated abnormalities in pressure gradient and resistance to flow often hinder the supply of CBF needed to meet high demands.]]> Wed 24 Jul 2013 22:24:23 AEST ]]> Can CT perfusion accurately assess infarct core? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29819 p = 0.017). All CTP core volume estimations showed robust correlation with DWI (Pearson p-value < 0.001). As core volume increased, CTP demonstrated increased deviation from DWI. At the critical cut-offs of 25 mL and 70 mL, relative CBF demonstrated the best agreement with DWI for infarct core compared to the other CTP-derived measures of infarct core. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates close approximation between multiple CTP-derived measures of infarct core and DWI infarct volume, Especially relative CBF.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:03:23 AEST ]]> Establishing a rodent stroke perfusion computed tomography model https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17421 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:37 AEDT ]]>
