Interactions Between Acute Infarcts and Cerebrovascular Pathology Predict Poststroke Dementia

Background: Chronic cerebrovascular pathology accelerates the incidence of poststroke dementia (PSD). Whether the risk of PSD varies according to different types of chronic cerebrovascular pathology remains unclear. Objectives: We investigated whether PSD is associated with a unique pattern of interactions between chronic cerebrovascular pathologies and acute stroke lesions. Materials and Method: In this case-control study of acute mild stroke...
