Cerebral hypoperfusion is inadequate blood flow to the brain.[1][2] Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is linked to neurocognitive disorders.[2]
Orthostatic cerebral hypoperfusion syndrome[edit | edit source]
Novak (2016) states that orthostatic cerebral hypoperfusion syndrome (OCHOs) is defined by:
- abnormal orthostatic drop of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) during the tilt test and
- absence of orthostatic hypotension, arrhythmia, vascular abnormalities, or other causes of abnormal orthostatic CBFv[3]
