Overall burden of cerebral small vessel disease imaging and stroke outcomes / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is an imaging and clinical syndrome caused by intracranial small vessel lesions.Studies have confirmed that CSVD is closely associated with the stroke outcomes.The overall burden is a concept based on a single imaging marker of CSVD,which can comprehensively reflect the severity of brain injury and identify high-risk stroke patients.This article reviews the correlation between the overall burden of the CSVD imaging and the stroke outcomes.
