Baseline hemodynamics.
| Individuals post-stroke(n = 25) | CON(n = 25) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean MCAv (cm/s) a | 41 ± 11 | 49 ± 13 | 0.04 b |
| MAP (mmHg) | 82 ± 12 | 80 ± 11 | 0.45 |
| HR (bpm) c | 69 ± 12 | 65 ± 8 | 0.32 |
| PETCO2 (mmHg) | 36 ± 4 | 36 ± 4 | 0.95 |
| RR (breaths/min) c | 14 ± 4 | 15 ± 3 | 0.27 |
Means ± SD. MCAv: middle cerebral artery blood velocity; MAP: mean arterial pressure; HR: heart rate; PETCO2: expired end tidal carbon dioxide; RR: respiratory rate.
a
(n = 24) MCAv signal on the ipsilesional hemisphere could not be obtained in one individual post-stroke.
b
Significant between groups.
c
Not normally distributed, used Mann-Whitney U test.
