Resumen

Background. Recent studies have shown that cerebral vascularity may be impaired in Alzheimer’s disease. Cerebral vasomotor reactivity could be an important biomarker for this pathology. Aims. The aim of this study was to investigate the alterations in cerebralvascularmotorreactivityinAlzheimer’sdiseasesubjectsandtoassociatethesechangeswiththeircognitivescores.Methods.
