Correlation of psychometric testing with pulse pressure and cerebral blood flow variables

	MMSE	Clock
Pulse pressure	0.63	0.46
BA	0.01	−0.10
Right ICA	0.41	0.48
Left ICA	0.64	0.55
Right MCA	0.33	0.19
Left MCA	0.61	0.54
Right + left MCA	0.53	0.42
tCBF	0.52	0.47

Note: FAST score was not used due to its categorical nature.

Abbreviations: MMSE, Mini-Mental state examination; BA, basilar artery; ICA, internal carotid artery; MCA, middle cerebral artery; tCBF, total cerebral blood flow.
