In another study, the subcortical ischemic vascular disease group, which was characterized by multiple silent lacunar infarctions, showed poor executive function on a robust neuropsychological test.
In addition to these sequences, DWI with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps can be useful to distinguish CAA-related silent infarctions from other white matter lesions, including vasogenic oedema and leukoaraiosis [3, 5].
Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of stroke (1), silent infarctions (2), cognitive impairment (3, 4), and dementia (5).
When the baseline SBI group was stratified according to the presence of additional silent infarctions, the cognitive decline was confined to those who had additional ones.
Their final optimized construct had multiple silent mutations and 16 introns inserted into the viral cDNA [ 14].
Such changes set the stage for arrhythmia, silent infarction and sudden death [ 120, 121].
No cases of asymptomatic lesions detected by brain imaging (i.e., silent infarction) were included.
The prevalence of silent infarction in the age group in this study was more than 15% [ 20, 21].
In addition, to exclude inducible myocardial ischemia or silent infarction caused by coronary artery disease, high-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography was performed.
CHD was defined as myocardial infarction, silent myocardial infarction, or CHD death, and stroke included both hemorrhagic and ischemic subtypes.
