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,

Prevalence, Volume, and Clinical Correlates of Intracranial Arteriosclerosis Among Patients With Cognitive Complaints: A Clinic-Based Study [PDF]
Abstract Background Intracranial arteriosclerosis increases the risk of dementia in the general population, but no published studies have determined its clinical value for the diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment in a memory clinic setting.

Intracranial arteriosclerosis and the risk of dementia: A population‐based cohort study [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe impact of intracranial arteriosclerosis on dementia remains largely unclear.METHODSIn 2339 stroke‐free and dementia‐free participants (52.2% women, mean age 69.5 years) from the general population, we assessed intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) and vertebrobasilar artery calcification (VBAC) as proxy for ...

Intracranial Arterial Calcification and Intracranial Atherosclerosis: Close but Different [PDF]
Background and PurposeIntracranial arterial calcification (IAC) may be present in the intimal or medial arterial layer. This study aimed to elucidate the link between the calcification and atherosclerotic disease in the intracranial vasculature ...

MIND diet, cerebrovascular health, and cognition among community-dwelling older adults. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Understanding of the Mediterranean–Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND) diet's association with cerebral arteriosclerosis, and whether cerebrovascular outcomes link diet to cognition is limited. METHODS We included 713 participants (81 ± 7.2 years old, 77% female, 16 ± 2.9 years

CT-derived density of intracranial arteriosclerosis: a population-based cohort study. [PDF]
Abstract Background The CT-derived density of coronary artery calcification is increasingly associated with the risk of ischemic heart disease. Whether this principle also applies to intracranial artery calcifications (IAC) and cerebrovascular disease risk is unknown, primarily due to the lack ...

Evaluation of an in vivo biomarker of arteriolosclerosis (ARTS) and its associations with cognition and multimodal ATN(V) biomarkers in a cardiometabolic-risk enriched community cohort. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION We evaluated associations between an in vivo (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) marker of arteriolosclerosis (ARTS) and multimodal neuroimaging and plasma ATN(V) biomarkers. METHODS Among 238 participants with both amyloid and tau positron emission tomography (PET) scans within 1 year of MRI, we examined multivariable adjusted ...
