Abstract: Methods to assess cerebrovascular autoregulation are variable, including blood pressure-autoregulation and cerebrovascular motor reactivity. Evaluation of cerebrovascular autoregulation may be used to assess cerebral circulation reserve. It may predict the risk of ischemic cerebral vascular event, and may contribute to clinical therapy.

Key words: cerebrovascular autoregulation, evaluation, review
