Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between four novel lipid indices and the presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), as lipids are known to play a role in cardiovascular diseases.
- A total of 219 participants were involved, including patients with varying severities of WMHs and healthy controls, with lipid levels being carefully monitored and categorized based on the Fazekas rating scale.
- Results showed that the novel lipid indices (LDL-C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, Non-HDL-C) were strongly linked to WMHs, outperforming traditional lipid measures in diagnostic effectiveness, particularly in female participants.
