The positional relationship between lacunae and white matter hyperintensity in patients with cerebral small vessel disease

CONCLUSION: High fasting blood glucose can be considered a risk factor for lacunae formation in patients with WMH. The more severe the PWMH and the higher the nocturnal heart rate, the more likely the lacunae, as well as PWMH, overlap completely. Ipsilateral arteriosclerosis and stenosis are independent risk factors for no contact between lacunae and PWMH.PMID:37488758 | DOI:10.2174/1567202620666230721124707
