Correlation of silent brain infarcts and leukoaraiosis in middle-aged ischemic stroke patients: a retrospective study
The study highlights leukoaraiosis as a significant risk factor for SBI, alongside MetS. Advanced imaging techniques have facilitated their detection, revealing a higher prevalence among stroke patients, particularly associated with age and hypertension. Further research is needed to fully understand their complex relationship and develop better management strategies for cerebrovascular diseases, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
