  • Systemic hypoperfusion

Systemic hypoperfusion Detail 🌳 View as Mindmap

Etiology

  • Anything that lowers bp below critical level
  • Often superimposed on pre-existing cerebral vascular disease

Symptoms

  • Highest risk of ischemia and infarct in distal areas/those supplied by atherosclerotic vessels
  • Can also cause global insults as hypotension affects overall perfusion

Physical Exam Findings

  • General effect from global hypo-perfusion
  • Can also cause discrete deficits from focal ischemia
