Abstract

Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) refers to the ability of cerebral vasculature to dilate or constrict during vasoactive stimuli. CVR has been shown to be a biomarker for vascular health in a range of disease states. Herein, we use Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy to quantify cerebrovascular reactivity in 10 healthy adults using 3 different experimental paradigms for CVR assessment: hypercapnia, breath holding, and resting-state. We compare CVR estimations across these 3 paradigms, and we find poor agreement between the methods, underscoring the need for improved understanding of the different mechanisms of action of each intervention on the vasculature.
