Correlation of cerebrovascular disease burden with cerebral atrophic change in patients with a history of ischemic stroke or TIA or with silent cerebrovascular diseases

Key Points

• Cerebral atrophy is significantly correlated with increased cerebrovascular disease burden.
• Patients with a history of ischemic stroke or TIA show notable atrophic changes based on disease burden.
• Observational analysis across various medical records highlights the prevalence of silent cerebrovascular diseases.
• Understanding this correlation may enable better prevention strategies for future cerebrovascular events.
