Why the study?
Is left ventricular mass index associated with cerebral small-artery disease and large-artery disease in ischemic stroke patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=403)
Is left ventricular mass index associated with cerebral small-artery disease and large-artery disease in ischemic stroke patients?
In ischemic stroke patients, increased left ventricular mass index and concentric hypertrophy are specifically associated with cerebral microbleeds, suggesting advanced target organ damage.
