Cerebral blood flow is coupled to brain metabolism by means of active modulation of cerebrovascular resistance. This homeostatic vasogenic activity is reflected in slow waves of cerebral blood flow velocities (FV) which can also be detected in intracranial pressure (ICP). However, effects of increased ICP on the modulation of cerebral blood flow are still poorly understood. This study focused on the question whether ICP has an independent impact on slow waves of FV within the normal cerebral perfusion pressures range.
