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

ConclusionsDifferent CVRF profiles were significantly related to specific WMH spatial distribution patterns in a large IS cohort.Key Points• An observational study of WMH in a large IS cohort was assessed by a modified visual evaluation.• Different CVRF profiles were significantly related to specific WMH spatial distribution patterns.• Distinct WMH anatomical patterns could be related to different pathophysiological mechanisms.
