Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Studies investigating high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) in stroke typically emphasize treadmill training. However, a literature review suggested that seated devices such as a recumbent stepper or cycle offer a promising alternative for HIIE since exercise can be prescribed using peak power output (PPO). Therefore, this would give health care professionals the ability to monitor and adapt power output for the target heart rate range. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine the feasibility of prescribing short-interval, low-volume HIIE using PPO in chronic stroke. METHODS We used several methods to test feasibility: (1)Acceptability: Measured by the percentage of participants who completed the entire HIIE protocol; (2) Implementation was assessed by the number of reported cardiac or serious adverse events during submaximal exercise testing and HIIE and the average percentage of participants reaching vigorous intensity, defined by the American College of Sports Medicine as at least 77% of age-predicted maximal heart rate (HR max ). RESULTS Data were available for 28 participants who were 32.2 (17.2) months post-stroke and 61.4 (11.9) years of age. Twenty-eight participants completed HIIE per protocol. No cardiac or serious adverse events occurred during the submaximal exercise test or during HIIE. The rapid switching between HIIE and recovery showed no evidence of blood pressure reaching unsafe thresholds. Average intensity during HIIE reached 76.8% HR max , which is slightly below the target of 77.0%. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS A single bout of short-interval, low-volume HIIE, prescribed using PPO, was feasible in chronic stroke.

Lower middle cerebral artery blood velocity during low-volume high-intensity interval exercise in chronic stroke. J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 2024; 44:627-640. [PMID: 37708242 PMCID: PMC11197145 DOI: 10.1177/0271678x231201472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
High-intensity interval training (HIIE) may present unique challenges to the cerebrovascular system in individuals post-stroke. We hypothesized lower middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) in individuals post-stroke: 1) during 10 minutes of HIIE, 2) immediately following HIIE, and 3) 30 minutes after HIIE, compared to age- and sex-matched controls (CON). We used a recumbent stepper submaximal exercise test to determine workloads for high-intensity and active recovery. Our low volume HIIE protocol consisted of 1-minute intervals for 10 minutes. During HIIE, we measured MCAv, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and end tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2). We assessed carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity as a measure of arterial stiffness. Fifty participants completed the study (25 post-stroke, 76% ischemic, 32% moderate disability). Individuals post-stroke had lower MCAv during HIIE compared to CON (p = 0.03), which remained 30 minutes after HIIE. Individuals post-stroke had greater arterial stiffness (p = 0.01) which was moderately associated with a smaller MCAv responsiveness during HIIE (r = -0.44). No differences were found for MAP, HR, and PETCO2. This study suggests individuals post-stroke had a lower MCAv during HIIE compared to their peers, which remained during recovery up to 30 minutes. Arterial stiffness may contribute to the lower cerebrovascular responsiveness post-stroke.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the kinetic response of middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) to moderate and heavy-intensity cycling in adults, and explore the relationship between maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) and MCAv kinetics. Seventeen healthy adults (23.8±2.4 years, 9 females) completed a ramp incremental test to exhaustion on a cycle ergometer to determine V̇O2max and the gas exchange threshold (GET). Across six separate visits, participants completed three 6-minute transitions at a moderate-intensity (90% GET) and three at a heavy-intensity (40% of the difference between GET and V̇O2max). Bilateral MCAv was measured using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and analysed using a mono-exponential model with a time delay. The time constant (τ) of the MCAv response was not different between moderate- and heavy-intensity cycling (25±10 vs. 26±8 s, P=0.82), as was the time delay (29±11 vs. 29±10 s, P=0.95). The amplitude of the exponential increase in MCAv from baseline was greater during heavy (23.9±10.0 cm.s-1, 34.1±14.4%) compared to moderate (12.7±4.4 cm.s-1, 18.7±7.5%) intensity cycling (P<0.01). Following the exponential increase, a greater fall in MCAv was observed during heavy compared to moderate-intensity exercise (9.5±6.9 vs 2.8±3.8 cm.s-1, P<0.01). MCAv after 6 minutes of exercise remained elevated during heavy compared to moderate-intensity exercise (85.2±9.6 vs. 79.3±7.7cm.s-1, P≤0.01). V̇O2max was not correlated with MCAv τ or amplitude (r=0.11-0.26, P>0.05). These data suggest that the intensity of constant-work rate exercise influences the amplitude, but not time-based, response parameters of MCAv in healthy adults, and found no relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and MCAv kinetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD), Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), increases cardiovascular disease risk and may also act synergistically with vascular risk factors to contribute to AD pathogenesis. Here, we assess the interaction between APOE4 and vascular risk on cerebrovascular dysfunction and brain pathology. METHODS This is an observational study of cognitively normal older adults, which included positron emission tomography imaging and vascular risk factors. We measured beat-to-beat blood pressure and middle cerebral artery velocity at rest and during moderate-intensity exercise. Cerebrovascular measures included cerebrovascular conductance index and the cerebrovascular response to exercise. RESULTS There was a significant interaction between resting cerebrovascular conductance index and APOE4 carrier status on β-amyloid deposition (P=0.026), with poor conductance in the cerebrovasculature associated with elevated β-amyloid for the APOE4 carriers only. There was a significant interaction between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and APOE4 carrier status (P=0.014), with elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol predicting a blunted cerebrovascular response to exercise in APOE4 carriers and the opposite relationship in noncarriers. CONCLUSIONS Both cerebral and peripheral vascular risk factors are preferentially associated with brain pathology in APOE4 carriers. These findings provide insight into pathogenic vascular risk mechanisms and target strategies to potentially delay AD onset.

Abstract
Background The primary aim of this study was to characterize the middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) dynamic response to an acute bout of exercise in humans at 3- and 6-months poststroke. As a secondary objective, we grouped individuals according to the MCAv dynamic response to the exercise bout as responder or nonresponder. We tested whether physical activity, aerobic fitness, and exercise mean arterial blood pressure differed between groups. Methods and Results Transcranial Doppler ultrasound measured MCAv during a 90-second baseline followed by a 6-minute moderate intensity exercise bout. Heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, and end-tidal CO2 were additional variables of interest. The MCAv dynamic response variables included the following: baseline, time delay, amplitude, and time constant. Linear mixed model revealed no significant differences in our selected outcomes between 3- and 6-months poststroke. Individuals characterized as responders demonstrated a faster time delay, higher amplitude, and reported higher levels of physical activity and aerobic fitness when compared with the nonresponders. No between-group differences were identified for baseline, time constant, or exercise mean arterial blood pressure. In the nonresponders, we observed an immediate rise in MCAv following exercise onset followed by an immediate decline to near baseline values, while the responders showed an exponential rise until steady state was reached. Conclusions The MCAv dynamic response profile has the potential to provide valuable information during an acute exercise bout following stroke. Individuals with a greater MCAv response to the exercise stimulus reported statin use and regular participation in exercise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic hyperglycemia contributes to cerebrovascular dysfunction by damaging blood vessels. Poor glucose control has been tied to impairments in cerebral blood flow, which may be particularly detrimental for people recovering from major cerebrovascular events such as acute ischemic stroke. In this secondary analysis, we explore for the first time the connection between chronic hyperglycemia before acute stroke and the cerebrovascular response (CVR) to exercise 3 and 6 month into the subacute recovery period. METHODS We recorded middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv) using transcranial Doppler ultrasound bilaterally at rest and during moderate-intensity exercise in stroke patients at 3 (n = 19) and 6 (n = 12) months post-stroke. We calculated CVR as the difference between MCAv during steady-state exercise and resting MCAv. We obtained hemoglobin A1c levels (HbA1c; a measure of blood glucose over the prior 3 months) from the electronic medical record (EMR) and divided participants by HbA1c greater or less than 7%. RESULTS Participants with high HbA1c (>7%) at the time of acute stroke had significantly lower CVR to exercise for both the stroke-affected (p = .009) and non-affected (p = .007) hemispheres at 3 months post-stroke. These differences remained significant at 6 months post-stroke (stroke-affected, p = .008; non-affected, p = .016). CONCLUSIONS Patients with chronic hyperglycemia before acute ischemic stroke demonstrated impaired cerebrovascular function during exercise months into the subacute recovery period. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining tight glucose control to reduce morbidity and improve recovery post-stroke and could have implications for understanding cerebrovascular pathophysiology.

Abstract
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) decreases across the lifespan, and chronic conditions such as dementia and stroke accelerate this decline. Impaired CBF results in reduced delivery of oxygen and nutrients, which can damage the brain over time. Thus, there is a need to identify lifestyle interventions, including diet and exercise, to maintain CBF with aging and in the presence of chronic disease. In the present study, we used transcranial Doppler ultrasound to record middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv), a surrogate measure of CBF, during moderate-intensity exercise in sedentary, cognitively normal older adults (n = 90). A multiple linear regression model (F(4, 85) = 3.21, p = 0.02) showed that self-reported omega-3 supplement use significantly moderated the association between age and mean exercising MCAv in these individuals (p = 0.01). Older age was associated with lower exercising MCAv in the group not taking omega-3 supplements, while exercising MCAv showed no decline with increasing age in the group who reported omega-3 supplement use. These findings suggest omega-3 supplementation may have an important role in the preservation of CBF with aging.
