Mathematical model of the interaction between baroreflex and cerebral autoregulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Baroreflex (BR) and cerebral autoregulation (CA) are two important mechanisms regulating blood pressure and flow. However, the functional relationship between BR and CA in humans is unknown. Since BR impairment is an adverse prognostic indicator for both cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases it would be of clinical interest to better understand the relationship between BR and CA. Motivated by this observation we develop a simple mathematical framework aiming to simulate the effects of BR on the cerebral blood flow dynamics.

Autonomic function and cerebral autoregulation in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the first-line treatment in severe carotid stenosis to prevent stroke. Because of methodological limitations, the acute impact of CEA on baroreflex function and cerebral autoregulation is not well defined and was therefore investigated by applying a novel algorithm. METHODS AND RESULTS Systemic arterial blood pressure, ECG and respiration during metr...
متن کاملInteraction among autoregulation, CO2 reactivity, and intracranial pressure: a mathematical model.
The relationships among cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, intracranial pressure (ICP), and the action of cerebrovascular regulatory mechanisms (autoregulation and CO2 reactivity) were investigated by means of a mathematical model. The model incorporates the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, the intracranial pressure-volume relationship, and cerebral hemodynamics. The latter is ba...
متن کاملCardiac baroreflex function and dynamic cerebral autoregulation in elderly Masters athletes.
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is stably maintained through the combined effects of blood pressure (BP) regulation and cerebral autoregulation. Previous studies suggest that aerobic exercise training improves cardiac baroreflex function and beneficially affects BP regulation, but may negatively affect cerebral autoregulation. The purpose of this study was to reveal the impact of lifelong exercise on...
متن کاملInter-individual Relationships between Sympathetic Arterial Baroreflex Function and Cerebral Perfusion Control in Healthy Males
Maintenance of adequate cerebral perfusion during normal physiological challenges requires integration between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and systemic blood pressure control mechanisms. Previous studies have shown that cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is inversely related to some measures of cerebral autoregulation. However, interactions between the sympathetic arterial baroreflex and cerebr...
متن کاملCerebral autoregulation and gas exchange studied using a human cardiopulmonary model.
The goal of this work is to study the cerebral autoregulation, brain gas exchange, and their interaction by means of a mathematical model. We have previously developed a model of the human cardiopulmonary (CP) system, which included the whole body circulatory system, lung and peripheral tissue gas exchange, and the central nervous system control of arterial pressure and ventilation. In this stu...
