Transcranial Doppler measurements of blood flow velocity permit an assessment of variations in intracranial hemodynamics in response to acute arterial pressure variations. The purpose of this study was to scan healthy volunteers and patients with autonomic failure for differences in cerebral hemodynamic patterns under an acute hypotensive stimulus.
