Learn More About Hypertension

Over half of all diseases are self-inflicted. Major diseases originate from eating too much of the wrong food and damage is done to many organs simultaneously. We suggest that a prudent person suffering early vascular dysfunction symptoms would be wise to pursue vigorous, thorough diet revision at the earliest opportunity.

Blood Circulation to the Brain

The brain is a unique organ in the body. The blood circulation in the brain is more complex, more regulated, and less understood than the circulation in any other tissue. The large arteries carrying blood to the brain are the internal carotids and the vertebral arteries. The condition of these arteries determines how much blood flow is available to the brain.

The smaller cerebral (pial) arteries respond to changing demands from blood supply from cerebral tissues. This auto regulation tries to maintain stable cerebral blood flow even with unstable cerebral perfusion pressure.

Brain circulation responds in complex ways to a large number of stimuli. Failure of autoregulation may be one of the most common sources of brain dysfunction especially in people with high blood pressure on medications.

Brain ischemia is decreased blood flow. Brain hyperemia is increased blood flow, usually accompanied by increased capillary pressure. Both conditions can cause blood-brain barrier dysfunction and ultimately, may cause cell death from impaired circulation and/or hemorrhage.
