Redefining the cerebral autoregulatory range of blood pressures: Not as wide as previously reported

Physiol Rep. 2021 Sep;9(17):e15006. doi: 10.14814/phy2.15006.

Abstract

This editorial summarizes the manuscript by Brassard and colleagues entitled, "Losing the dogmatic view of cerebral autoregulation". The main take-home message is that the cerebral autoregulatory plateau is much smaller than previously accepted and needs to be re-introduced as such.
