In the LF band, cerebrovascular oscillations preceded the cardiovascular oscillations (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) at rest in all groups: the phase shifts were reduced (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) during head up tilt for all cardiovascular signals in healthy and syncopal subjects, but only for heart rate in diabetic patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The cerebrovascular resistance vessels are subject to autonomic modulation; low frequency oscillations in cerebral blood flow velocity precede the resulting fluctuations in other cardiovascular signals.
