Cerebrovascular reactivity metrics as predictors of cognitive performance in healthy ageing: insights from transcranial colour-coded ultrasound
The BHI, derived from simple and clinically tolerable methods, demonstrates clear potential to enhance the prediction and early identification of vascular cognitive impairment in healthy adults. By leveraging insights from cerebral haemodynamics, TCCD-based cerebrovascular risk screening may enable more effective and targeted interventions, ultimately contributing to better long-term cognitive health outcomes.
