Research Article: Association of Plasma Lipids with White Matter Hyperintensities in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Introduction:
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a familiar progressive cerebral microvessels disorder that causes about a quarter of acute strokes and % of dementia cases. The typical neuroimaging phenotypes of CSVD include recent small subcortical infarcts, lacunes, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and brain atrophy. As the most common marker of CSVD, WMH contributed notably to stroke risk as well as associated physical, psychological, and cognitive…
