Intracranial arteriosclerosis is not associated with cerebral amyloid deposition [PDF]
BACKGROUND Intracranial arteriosclerosis and cerebral amyloid beta (Aβ) are both involved in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, but the direct link between these two pathologies remains elusive.

Hypertension, intracranial arteriosclerosis, and structural brain changes in patients with TIA or ischemic stroke. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundHypertension is a major risk factor of structural brain changes, including atrophy and cerebral small vessel disease. Intracranial arteriosclerosis could be an underlying mechanism between hypertension and structural brain changes.

Prognostic impact of intracranial arteriosclerosis subtype after endovascular treatment for acute ischaemic stroke. [PDF]
AbstractBackground and PurposeThe influence of intracranial arteriosclerosis (ICAR) on acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) prognosis is unclear. This study explored its impact, focusing on ICAR subtypes categorized by intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) patterns: intimal or atherosclerotic versus internal elastic lamina calcification or non ...

Intracranial arteriosclerosis and cerebrovascular function in the general aging population – A 7T MRI Study [PDF]
Structured AbstractBackground and ObjectivesIntracranial arteriosclerosis is a prevalent condition linked to serious health outcomes, such as stroke and dementia. It is hypothesized that intracranial arteriosclerosis compromises brain health by disrupting the functioning of adjacent vessels, including the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and the ...

Subtypes of Intracranial Carotid Arteriosclerosis and Vascular Prognosis in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients. [PDF]
Introduction: Vascular calcification, linked to atherosclerosis, is a significant cardiovascular risk factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD). While different intracranial carotid arteriosclerosis subtypes affect stroke risk in the general population, their prevalence, causes, and impact on CKD patients remain unclear.

Variations in intracranial arterial anatomy of the circle of Willis and their association with arteriosclerosis in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. [PDF]
Introduction: An estimated 20–31% of all people are born with a textbook anatomical configuration of the intracranial arteries comprising the Circle of Willis. Individuals with specific anatomical variants may be at elevated risk of intracranial arteriosclerosis, and possibly its sequelae of stroke and dementia, as the ...

Intracranial carotid arteriosclerosis and their prognosis in intracerebral hemorrhage. [PDF]
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a manifestations of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease, and the survivors are predisposed to higher long-term risks of vascular events. Intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC), a potential marker for arteriosclerosis, is a risk factor for stroke but their roles in ICH ...

Intracranial Carotid Arteriosclerosis Mediates the Association Between Blood Pressure and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease [PDF]
Background: Intracranial arteriosclerosis could explain the association between blood pressure (BP) and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Therefore, we tested whether intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) mediates the association between BP and CSVD and determined pathophysiological mechanisms ...

Intracranial arteriosclerosis is related to cerebral small vessel disease: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Intracranial arteriosclerosis has been increasingly recognized as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and even dementia. A possible mechanism linking intracranial arteriosclerosis to cognitive impairment and dementia involves structural brain changes including cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
