White Matter Hyperintensity Burden Modifies the Association Between Atrial Fibrillation and Cerebral Microbleeds
2026-06-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> In atrial fibrillation (AF), cerebral microbleed (CMB) burden guides anticoagulation decisions, yet AF is itself inconsistently associated with CMBs, a paradox unexplained by frameworks that treat CMBs as a unitary marker of small vessel disease. We hypothesized that the white matter hyperintensity (WMH) context in which CMBs arise modifies their vascular meaning, and that this context-depende...
