BackgroundOrthostatic hypotension (OH) and cognitive impairment are common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study aimed to investigate whether impaired dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) is associated with OH and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD), and analyze the related risk factors in patients with PDD.Materials and methodsWe enrolled 89 patients with PD and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs). Cognition and different cognitive domains were assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale. Non-invasive continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity were assessed using a servo-controlled finger plethysmograph and transcranial Doppler, respectively. dCA was examined using supine and orthostatic changes with transfer function analysis to derive the autoregulatory parameters of phase, gain, and coherence. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors for PDD.ResultsWe found that 21 (23.6%) patients with PD had OH. These patients showed worse cognitive performance in specific cognitive tasks, such as language and orientation. The patients with OH also had poorer dCA; the very low frequency (VLF) phase in two different postures was lower than that in patients without OH as well as HCs (both P < 0.05). And the normalized gain in the VLF and low frequency (LF) in standing position was higher in PD patients with and without OH than in HCs. PDD patients also had significantly higher LF normalized gain when standing than patients without dementia (P = 0.015), indicating impaired dCA. LF normalized gain in standing (odds ratio: 3.756, 95% confidence interval: 1.241–11.367) and education were significantly associated with PDD.ConclusionDiminished dCA may represent a potential mechanism for OH and cognitive impairment and low educational level might be a significant factor contributing to the increased risk of PDD. |
