Abstract

Background and Purpose— Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with cerebral hyperperfusion and an increased risk of stroke. Also, both recurrent microvascular obstruction and chronic hemolysis affect endothelial function, potentially interfering with systemic and cerebral blood flow control. We addressed the question whether cerebrovascular control in patients with SCD is affected and related to hemolysis. Methods— Systemic and cerebrovascular control were studied in 18 patients with SCD and 10 healthy subjects. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation was evaluated by transfer function analysis assessing the relationship between mean cerebral blood flow velocity and mean arterial pressure. Results— Normal baroreflex sensitivity and postural cardiovascular reflex responses indicated integrity of systemic cardiovascular control. In the low- (0.07 to 0.15 Hz) frequency region, mean arterial pressure variability was comparable for both groups, but a larger mean cerebral blood flow velocity variability in SCD (6.1 [4.6 to 7.0] versus 4.2 [2.6 to 5.2] [cm·s −1 ] 2 ·Hz −1 ; P <0.05) indicated a reduced capacity to buffer the transfer of blood pressure surges to the cerebral tissue. Impairment of dynamic cerebrovascular control was confirmed by a reduced mean arterial pressure-to-mean cerebral blood flow velocity transfer function phase lead in SCD versus healthy subjects (32±17° versus 50±19°, P <0.05) that was unrelated to the severity of hemolysis. Conclusions— In patients with SCD, dynamic cerebral autoregulation is impaired but appears unrelated to hemolysis.

  • Cerebral autoregulatory capacity is impaired in sickle cell disease.

    “the cerebral autoregulatory capacity, i.e., the capacity to adjust vessel volume in response to carbon monoxide challenge or systemic blood pressure changes, is impaired in SCD (137, 138).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
