ICA-BF and ICA-PI, measured in broadly available extracranial sonography, independently related to measures of functional and structural brain changes in people with chronic HF, respectively. Due to limitations of this cross-sectional approach without a healthy control group, larger controlled longitudinal studies are needed to further elucidate the role of ICA-BF dysregulation and its implication for clinical care in this vulnerable cohort.
