Mean (SD) CVR calculated from the MCAv steady state (SS) relative (Rel, %/mmHg) and absolute (Abs, cm/sec per mmHg) responses to step and ramp stimulus patterns during constant MAP. The corresponding P values are the result of 2-way rmANOVA testing with all pairwise multiple comparisons using the Holm–Sidak method. Significantly different measures are bolded and italicised

Stimulus	Rel	Abs	P
Step	3.53 (1.01)	2.48 (0.94)	<0.001
Ramp	3.94 (0.81)	2.76 (0.91)	<0.001
P	0.005	0.040
