متن کاملPlasma Biomarkers of Inflammation, Endothelial Function and Hemostasis in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
BACKGROUND The cause of lacunar ischemic stroke, a clinical feature of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), is largely unknown. Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction have been implicated. Plasma biomarkers could provide mechanistic insights but current data are conflicting. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are an important imaging biomarker of SVD. It is unknown if plasma biomarkers add ...
متن کاملKidney function is related to cerebral small vessel disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Poor kidney function, as measured by glomerular filtration rate (GFR), is closely associated with presence of glomerular small vessel disease. Given the hemodynamic similarities between the vascular beds of the kidney and the brain, we hypothesized an association between kidney function and markers of cerebral small vessel disease on MRI. We investigated this association ...
متن کاملPlasma lipids and cerebral small vessel disease.
OBJECTIVES We examined the cross-sectional association between lipid fractions and 2 MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease, white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV) and lacunes, representing powerful predictors of stroke and dementia. METHODS The study sample comprised 2,608 participants from the 3C-Dijon Study (n = 1,842) and the Epidemiology of Vascular Aging Study (EVA) (n = 766), ...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Background and Purpose—Aging and vascular risk factors contribute to arterial stiffening. Increased arterial stiffness exposes the small vessels in the brain to abnormal flow pulsations and, as such, may contribute to the pathogenesis of cerebral small vessel disease. In a population-based study, we investigated the association between arterial stiffness, as measured by aortic pulse wave veloci...
