Cerebral Hypoperfusion Is Exaggerated With an Upright Posture in Heart Failure Impact of Depressed Cardiac Output
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine cerebral blood flow (CBF) supine and during upright sitting in HF patients and control subjects to test the hypothesis that patients with HF will have a greater reduction in CBF from supine to seated compared with the control group.
BACKGROUND: Reduced CBF has been reported in patients with heart failure (HF). However, previous work has only examined CBF while supine, although an upright …
