Autonomic neuroscience : basic & clinical
-
The mechanisms underlying impairment of dynamic cerebral autoregulation in diabetes are not well known. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) could contribute to dynamic cerebral autoregulation impairment. In this study, we assessed the association between CAN and impairment of dynamic cerebral autoregulation in patients with type 1 diabetes. ⋯ CAN was associated with impaired DCA in type 1 diabetes. The magnitude of DCA impairment increased with the severity of CAN.
