Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of stenoses and occlusions of brain-supplying arteries in young stroke patients
Bettina von Sarnowski,Ulf Schminke,Turgut Tatlisumak,Jukka Putaala,Ulrike Grittner,Manfred Kaps,William Oliver Tobin,Justin A. Kinsella,Dominick J. H. McCabe,Michael G. Hennerici,Franz Fazekas,Bo Norrving,Christof Kessler,Arndt Rolfs +13 more
TL;DR: A substantial proportion of atherosclerotic carotid artery stenoses and occlusions in younger stroke patients had symptomatic or asymptomatic large-artery atherosclerosis, which should encourage future stroke prevention campaigns to target risk factor modification in young people.
Book ChapterDOI
Risk factors and progression of small vessel disease-related cerebral abnormalities
TL;DR: The data suggest that drugs influencing the RAS system may allow to intervene with an unfavorable course of cerebral small vessel disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular risk factors, white matter hyperintensities and hippocampal volume in normal elderly individuals.
Thomas Gattringer,Christian Enzinger,Stefan Ropele,Faton Gorani,K. Petrovic,Reinhold Schmidt,Franz Fazekas +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate HV loss in parallel with the whole brain and suggest no specific vulnerability towards vascular risk factors or age-related WMH in a cognitively intact normal elderly population, which supports the utility of HV measurements to identify impending AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Austria. Results of a nationwide survey.
Ulf Baumhackl,G. Eibl,U. Ganzinger,H.-P. Hartung,Bruno Mamoli,K.P. Pfeiffer,Franz Fazekas,Karl Vass +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of MS in Austria was found to be similar to that of other countries in Central Europe, and a novel extrapolation model, based on frequencies of patients visits at MS clinics, was used to estimate the overall prevalence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of Convexal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage to Disease Progression in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
Markus Beitzke,Christian Enzinger,Gerit Wünsch,Martin Asslaber,Thomas Gattringer,Franz Fazekas +5 more
TL;DR: In cerebral amyloid angiopathy, leakage of meningeal vessels seems to be a major cause for recurrent intrasulcal bleedings, which lead to the propagation of cSS and indicate sites with increased vulnerability for future ICH.
