Why the study?
Does elevated blood pressure and poorly controlled hypertension increase the risk of severe cerebral white matter lesions in elderly nondemented subjects?
Does elevated blood pressure and poorly controlled hypertension increase the risk of severe cerebral white matter lesions in elderly nondemented subjects?
Higher blood pressure and poorly controlled hypertension are associated with an increased risk of severe cerebral white matter lesions, suggesting successful treatment may reduce this risk.
