Arterial Stiffness Is Associated With Basal Ganglia Enlarged Perivascular Spaces and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Load.
Stroke
May 2018
From the Neurovascular Laboratory, Vall Hebron's Research Institute, Barcelona, Spain (I.R.-L., J.J.-B., X.C., A.L.-R., J.M., P.D.).
Background And Purpose: We assessed whether the load of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) and its individual markers, including lacunes, white matter hyperintensities, microbleeds, and enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS), are associated with arterial stiffness.
Methods: We evaluated cSVD markers in a cohort of 782 hypertensive individuals without history of stroke or dementia. The load of the disease was calculated using an ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4 (1 point was given for each of the 4 markers examined).
Dementia Rating Scale-2 normative data for middle-and older-aged Castilian speaking Spaniards.
Clin Neuropsychol
May 2017
a Neurovascular Research Laboratory , Vall Hebron's Research Institute and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona , Spain.
Objectives: The Dementia Rating Scale-2 (DRS-2) is frequently used as a dementia screening tool in clinical and research settings in Spain. The present study describes DRS-2 Total and subscale scores in community-dwelling Spaniards, aged 50-71, and provides normative data for its use in Castilian Spanish-speaking individuals.
Methods: The sample consisted of 798 individuals who participated in an observational study on essential hypertension.

Silent brain infarcts (SBIs) are detected by neuroimaging in approximately 20% of elderly patients in population-based studies. Limited evidence is available for hypertensives at low cardiovascular risk countries. Investigating Silent Strokes in Hypertensives: a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study (ISSYS) is aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of SBIs in a hypertensive Mediterranean population.
