Prevalence and risk factors of silent cerebral infarction in apparently normal adults.
Cerebrovascular disease is a major cause of death and disability in adults. Silent cerebral infarction (SCI) portends more severe cerebral infarctions or may lead to insidious progressive brain damage resulting in vascular dementia. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of SCI in an apparently normal adult population. Nine hundred ninety-four consecutive symptom-fr...
متن کاملSilent cerebral infarction in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular diseases are very common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Silent cerebral infarction (SCI) has not been investigated in HD patients although it may be a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases. HYPOTHESIS Chronic renal failure may be an independent risk factor for SCI and cerebrovascular diseases. METHODS Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was per...
متن کاملCardiovascular Risk Factors in Apparently Normal Adults
Although increased blood viscosity occurs in several cardiovascular diseases, little is known of factors influencing blood rheology in normal adults. Accordingly, we examined the relations of whole blood viscosity (WBV) to its rheologic determinants (hematocrit level, plasma viscosity, protein concentration, and red cell aggregability and rigidity), to demographic and laboratory variables, and ...
متن کاملSilent cerebral infarction in chronic atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke. In AF patients with acute stroke, cerebral computed tomography (CT) often reveals old asymptomatic infarcts. To investigate the frequency of such lesions, 29 AF patients and 29 controls in sinus rhythm without history of cerebrovascular disease were CT scanned. Fourteen patients with AF (48%) had abnormal CT scans with are...
متن کامل[Asymptomatic carotid lesion and silent cerebral infarction].
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few studies have investigated the relationships between asymptomatic carotid lesions and silent infarcts confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS A consecutive series of 117 subjects (average age, 62 +/- 9.4 years) who were free from neurological deficit but had at least one established risk factor for stroke were investigated by B-mode carotid ultrasonography a...
