Cerebral Microbleeds Pathophysiology to Clinical Practice
Libros de Medicina en PDF Cerebral Microbleeds Pathophysiology to Clinical Practice Cerebrovascular diseases (including symptomatic strokes and vascular cognitive impairment) are arguably the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. About one in three symptomatic strokes are caused by diseases of small perforating arteries, including most cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, the most severe and lethal type of stroke. Despite the clear importance of small vessel diseases, many effective interventions (for example endovascular techniques) currently target only disease of large arteries, because small vessels are technically inaccessible and the underlying mechanisms of small vessel diseases remain relatively poorly understood.
