Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Subcortical vascular dementia (SVaD) is a common form of dementia, attributed to ischemic small-vessel disease. Blood viscosity (BV) may contribute to the pathophysiology of SVaD. However, SVaD patients with coexisting amyloid deposition may not show differences in BV because their small-vessel disease may result from amyloid angiopathy independently of BV. We, therefore, hypothesized that BV might...
