Arterial Pulsatility Modulation

Meaning

Arterial Pulsatility Modulation refers to the physiological regulation and maintenance of the rhythmic, pressure-driven expansion and contraction of cerebral arteries. This mechanical force is a key driver for fluid movement within the perivascular spaces of the brain, directly supporting the clearance of metabolic waste via the glymphatic system. Optimizing this pulsatility is considered a vital factor in preserving microvascular health and enhancing neuro-detoxification efficiency throughout the lifespan. The modulation process involves balancing systemic blood pressure and local vascular compliance within the neurovascular unit.
