Arterial stiffness may be a cause of cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive impairment.
We therefore performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on the association …

Cerebral microbleeds (microbleeds) are small, punctuate hypointense lesions seen in T2*
Gradient-Recall Echo (GRE) and Susceptibility-Weighted (SWI) Magnetic Resonance …

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 …

The proximal aorta acts as a coupling device between heart and brain perfusion, modulating
the amount of pressure and flow pulsatility transmitted into the cerebral microcirculation …

Background: Cerebral small vessel diseases, including silent lacunar infarcts, white matter
hyperintensities, and microbleeds, pose a risk for cerebrovascular disease, cognitive …

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a non-invasive measure of arterial stiffness
obtained using an automated system. Although baPWVs have been widely used as a non …

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are a disorder of cerebral microvessels that are characterized
as small (< 10 mm), hypointense, round or ovoid lesions seen on T2*-weighted gradient …

As with many age-related diseases including vascular dysfunction, age is considered an
independent and crucial risk factor. Complicated alterations of structure and function in the …

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are tiny, round dark-signal lesions that are most often
detected on gradient-echo MR images. CMBs consist of extravasations of blood components …

Clinical and experimental studies show that hypertension induces intracerebral
hemorrhages (ICH), including cerebral microhemorrhages in the aged brain, which …
