Abnormal Cerebrovascular Reactivity in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Table 3

Cerebral hemodynamic data for PD patients and controls.

	PD	Controls	-Cohen
bFV (cm/s)	46.41 ± 11.38	54.42 ± 12.03	0.019
aBFV (cm/s)	58.88 ± 12.9	75.15 ± 20.07	0.0015
%IBFV (%)	27.45 ± 17.31	37.94 ± 20.53	0.039
BHI	0.96 ± 0.75	1.35 ± 0.74	0.04

Note: PD = Parkinson’s disease; bBFV = basal mean blood flow velocity (cm/s); aBFV = mean postapnea blood flow velocity (cm/s); %IBFV = percentage increase in mean velocity during breath-holding (%); BHI = breath-holding index.
