Analysis of Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Waveform Morphology for the Assessment of Cerebrovascular Hemodynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)The use of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound for the assessment of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) provides an indication of cerebral blood flow assuming the diameter of the insonated vessel remains constant. Studies ... -
Mechanisms of over-active endothelium-derived contracting factor signaling causing common carotid artery endothelial vasomotor dysfunction in hypertension and aging
(University of Waterloo, 2011-03-09)Background and Purpose: The endothelium is a single-cell layer positioned at the blood-vascular wall interface, where in response to blood-borne signals and hemodynamic forces, endothelial cells act as central regulators ... -
The Relationship between Retinal Vascular Reactivity and Arteriolar Diameter
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-18)ABSTRACT Purpose: The primary aim of the study (i.e. Chapter 3) was to compare the magnitude of retinal vascular reactivity in arterioles of varying diameter in healthy, young subjects. The secondary aims were to determine: ...
