Abstract
Provided here are methods of detecting compromised cerebrovascular reactivity in a subject and treating such subject. The method includes acquiring transcranial Doppler signals and cardiac measurements from the subject following a breath-hold maneuver and recording a test set of CBFV measurements. A breath-hold acceleration index is calculated based on a linear regression correlation of temporal variations of the mean velocity across all cardiac cycles during the breath-hold maneuver. The presence of compromised cerebrovascular reactivity in the subject is detected in response to variations in the breath-hold acceleration index of the subject as compared to a healthy individual performing breath-hold maneuver under similar conditions. If the subject has compromised cerebrovascular reactivity, a therapeutically effective compound is administered to the subject along with provision of behavioral modification regimen.
