Application value of functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound in the evaluation of neurovascular coupling function / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is the basis of neuronal activity and metabolism, and its dysfunction may be closely associated with the occurrence and development of the nervous system diseases. Functional transcranial doppler ultrasonography (fTCD) can evaluate the NVC function. FTCD researches have shown that ischemic stroke, vascular cognitive impairment and other patients have NVC dysfunction. This article reviews the methods of fTCD examination of NVC and its clinical application.
