Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Using a one-time dopplersonographic ultrasound examination, parameters of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (phase and gain) will be evaluated. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Using a questionnaire history of cerebrovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, increased BMI) and possible ischemic cerebrovascular events will be inquired. During the one-time dopplersonographic examination parameters of visual coupling (resting flow velocity, overshoot flow velocity, steady-state flow velocity) will be evaluated. | — |
