Hyperinsulinemia and hemostatic abnormalities are associated with silent lacunar cerebral infarcts in elderly hypertensive subjects.
OBJECTIVES We sought to study the association of the silent cerebral infarct (SCI), a predisposing condition of stroke, with hyperinsulinemia and hemostatic abnormalities in older hypertensive subjects. BACKGROUND Hypertension is a powerful risk factor for stroke. However, the role of other risk factors for stroke in hypertensive subjects remains incompletely understood. METHODS We performe...
متن کاملTwo Types of Lacunar Infarcts
Background and Purpose—Earlier, we found that lacunar stroke patients with 1 asymptomatic lacunar infarcts on CT had leukoaraiosis and hypertension significantly more often than patients without such lesions, and we hypothesized that 2 types of small-vessel disease could be distinguished during life: arteriolosclerosis and microatheromatosis, respectively. Differences in prognosis might sustain...
متن کاملLacunar versus non-lacunar infarcts: pathogenetic and prognostic differences.
To characterise the pathogenetic and prognostic features of lacunar infarcts, 88 patients with these infarcts were compared with 103 patients with non-lacunar infarcts. Potential cardioembolic sources were significantly more frequent among patients with non-lacunar infarcts (p = 0.0025). Although the prevalence of hypertension was higher among lacunar infarcts, this difference was not statistic...
متن کاملCerebral Microbleeds and Lacunar Infarcts Are Associated with Walking Speed Independent of Cognitive Performance in Middle-Aged to Older Adults.
BACKGROUND The positive relationship between cognitive and physical performance has been widely established. The influence of brain structure on both domains has been shown as well. OBJECTIVE We studied whether the relationship between brain structure and physical performance is independent of cognitive performance. METHODS This was a cross-sectional analysis of 297 middle-aged to older adu...
متن کاملCerebral microbleeds and depression in lacunar stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) are common in stroke survivors and the community-dwelling elderly. The clinical significance of CMB in the development of depression after a stroke is unknown. This study examined the association between poststroke depression (PSD) and CMB. METHODS A cohort of 235 patients with acute lacunar stroke admitted to the stroke unit of a university-a...
