CP and hypertensive disorder: Recent evidence indicates that the CP-BCSFB system is notably perturbed by systemic hypertension (Al-Sarraf and Philip, 2003; Castañeyra-Perdomo et al., 2010), as such we applied a multi-inflow time (multi-TI) BCSFB-ASL MRI approach in SHR and WKY subjects (n = 6 in each group, 21-weeks old) to measure the degree a change in BCSFB derangement under hypertension (Figure 1).
