Correlation and spectral analysis of microcirculatory changes in symmetric areas of human head in short-term hypoxic exposure

Purpose. To study the effect of short-term hypoxic exposure on correlation between microcirculatory parameters (MCR) of symmetric areas of the human head. Materials and methods. MCR parameters of 10 healthy male volunteer were measured by laser Doppler flowmetry method. Short-term hypoxic exposure was produced according to the hypoxic test method using the ReOxy Cardio unit (S. A. Aimediq). We assessed the perfusion metrics left and right areas of interest, neurogenic, myogenic, respiratory and cardiac contributors to vascular tone and correlations between baseline parameters and after hypoxic exposure. Results. We revealed the specificity of regional circulation system rearranging induced by hypoxic load. The specificity is caused by functional asymmetry of correlations between different vascular tone contributors in symmetrical head areas. Strong correlation declining under the hypoxic loads between baseline perfusion on left/right was found. The perfusion changes of symmetrical temporal areas under the hypoxic loads correlate negatively with the baseline perfusion of both the same and the opposite side. Conclusion. Short-term hypoxic load rearranges the balance of different vascular tone contributors regulatory role in MCR of symmetric head areas to maintain the sustainable activity of the whole MRC.
