Blood Pressure and Vascular Dysfunction Underlie Elevated Cerebral Blood Flow in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

摘要

ObjectiveIn previous studies, cerebral blood flow (CBF) has been found to be altered in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) compared to controls. In the present study, the relationships between CBF and clinical data from SLE subjects were explored with the aim of determining the pathologic factors underlying altered CBF in SLE.
