White matter hyperintensity on cranial magnetic resonance imaging: a predictor of stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We have previously reported that several "silent" infarcts found on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were a risk factor for stroke. Several recent reports have shown that high white matter grade (WMG) and increasing WMG over time were risk factors for stroke. We tested the hypothesis that high WMG > or =2 was a predictor of risk for stroke, independent of other risk facto...
متن کاملWhite Matter Hyperintensity Burden on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Essential Tremor
BACKGROUND Whereas structural abnormalities in the cerebellum have been associated with essential tremor (ET), the contribution of vascular disease via white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and strokes has not been examined. In this study, we have explored these potential associations and hypothesized that ET would be associated with greater overall WMH volume, greater cerebellar WMH volume, and...
متن کاملLate-life depression, heart failure and frontal white matter hyperintensity: a structural magnetic resonance imaging study.
The relevance of the relationship between cardiac disease and depressive symptoms is well established. White matter hyperintensity, a bright signal area in the brain on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans, has been separately associated with cardiovascular risk factors, cardiac disease and late-life depression. However, no study has directly investigated the association between heart f...
متن کاملAntidepressant Treatment and Worsening White Matter on Serial Cranial Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Elderly
Background and Purpose—In some studies, late life depression is associated with white matter lesions on MRI. The effect of different classes of antidepressants on progression of white matter lesions is unknown. Selective serotonergic reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may decrease platelet aggregation. We hypothesized that Cardiovascular Health Study participants taking SSRIs would less often have wor...
