Risk factors analysis according to regional distribution of white matter hyperintensities in a stroke cohort

The spectrum of distribution of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) may reflect different functional, histopathological, and etiological features. We examined the relationships between cerebrovascular risk factors (CVRF) and different patterns of WMH in MRI using a qualitative visual scale in ischemic stroke (IS) patients.We assembled clinical data and imaging findings from patients of two independent cohorts with recent IS. MRI scans were...
