This topic is reviewed in the present article, in the hypertensive patient. This topic is reviewed in the present article, particular emphasis being placed on the resetting of the lower limit of autoregulation to higher pressure in hypertension and the effects of acute administration of anti-hypertensive drugs on CBF and CBF-autoregulation.
