Postural Effects on Brain Blood Flow and Cognition in Heart Failure

Fraser, Katelyn January 2014 (has links)
With the aging population on the rise, the prevalence of heart failure is expected to increase in the coming years. Heart failure is independently correlated with cognitive decline and has a negative impact on quality of life, morbidity and mortality. Reduced cardiac output (Q) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) are proposed mechanistic links between heart failure and cognitive decline; however, reports are limited to the supine position and the response to an everyday upright posture is unknown. The purpose of this thesis was to primarily investigate the CBF response to a common upright seated position encountered in daily life in heart failure patients compared to healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Furthermore, we sought to determine whether cognitive performance or cognitive-activated hemodynamics were posture-dependent in the heart failure group. The secondary objective of this thesis was to be inclusive to patients that represent those encountered in clinical practice???specifically to include patients with higher left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) and atrial fibrillation with co-existing heart failure. Our findings confirmed greater cognitive impairments and a low supine CBF and Q in heart failure compared to controls and importantly, for the first time, a greater reduction in CBF with an upright seated position compared to healthy age- and sex- matched controls. When a cognitive task was performed supine and seated, performance outcomes were independent of posture in heart failure patients. However, mean flow velocity through the middle cerebral artery (MFV_MCA) increased less in response to the cognitive task seated. With regard to our secondary objectives, the results suggest that those with higher LVEF are equally at risk for cognitive decline and cerebral hypoperfusion due to a low Q. Furthermore, high variability in Q and MFV_MCA were detected in association with the beat-to-beat variation inherent to atrial fibrillation and suggest that this may be an underappreciated pathway to cognitive impairments in this sub-group. Together, these results suggest that upright cerebral hypoperfusion throughout the day may contribute to cognitive decline in heart failure and create a basis for further work to be done with larger sample sizes. Moreover, cerebral hypoperfusion with higher LVEF and the blood flow variation in atrial fibrillation represent important pathways contributing to cognitive decline in these under investigated sub-groups.

Retinal Blood Flow in Patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Optic Disc Hemorrhage

Espahbodi, Nadia 25 June 2014 (has links)
Purpose: To investigate venous total retinal blood flow (TRBF) and retinal blood flow (RBF) in the superior and the inferior retinal hemifields in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with, and without, disc hemorrhage (DH). Methods: RBF measurements were obtained from 10 POAG with DH and 19 POAG without DH using Doppler SD-OCT (RTVue) as well as bi-directional laser Doppler flowmetry (CLBF). Results: RBF was not different between the superior and inferior hemifields for either of the two groups. Venous TRBF in the POAG with DH group was significantly lower than in the age-matched stable POAG without DH group (p=0.009). In the POAG with DH group, venous TRBF was significantly lower in the DH eye compared to contralateral eye without DH (p=0.015). Conclusions: Venous TRBF was significantly lower in the POAG with DH group compared to both the POAG without DH group and the contralateral eye of the POAG with DH group.
