Hypertension Is Associated with White Matter Disruption in Apparently Healthy Middle-Aged Individuals

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Traditional cardiovascular risk factors have been associated with white matter disease. Because hypertension results in vascular stiffness and impaired cerebral perfusion, we hypothesized that it would be the most relevant risk factor for microstructural white matter disruption in apparently healthy middle-aged individuals with a family history of early-onset coronary artery disease....
