Cerebral Small Vessel Disease among US minority Survivors of Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Black and Hispanic survivors of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) are at higher risk of recurrent intracranial bleeding when compared to their white counterparts. While established differences in hypertension severity after ICH play a role, they do not fully account for this health disparity. MRI-based markers of chronic Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD) are consistently associated with increased risk of recurrent ICH. We therefore sought to investigate whether differences in CSVD subtype and/or severity exist among self-reported race/ethnicity groups.
