Do hypertensive patients have structural alterations in small cerebral vessels compared to normotensive individuals?
Hypertension is associated with structural alterations in small cerebral vessels, mirroring changes seen in subcutaneous arteries.
Our results indicate that structural alterations of small cerebral vessels are present in hypertensive patients compared with normotensive individuals, similar to those previously observed in subcutaneous small arteries.
