Journal ArticleDOI
Silent brain infarcts and the risk of dementia and cognitive decline
Sarah E. Vermeer,Niels D. Prins,Tom den Heijer,Albert Hofman,Peter J. Koudstaal,Monique M.B. Breteler +5 more
TL;DR: Elderly people with silent brain infarcts have an increased risk of dementia and a steeper decline in cognitive function than those without such lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silent brain infarcts: a systematic review
TL;DR: An overview of the frequency, causes, and consequences of MRI-defined silent brain infarcts, which are detected in 20% of healthy elderly people and up to 50% of patients in selected series, is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silent Brain Infarcts and White Matter Lesions Increase Stroke Risk in the General Population: The Rotterdam Scan Study
Sarah E. Vermeer,Monika Hollander,Ewoud J. van Dijk,Albert Hofman,Peter J. Koudstaal,Monique M.B. Breteler +5 more
TL;DR: Elderly people with silent brain infarcts and white matter lesions are at a strongly increased risk of stroke, which could not be explained by the major stroke risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and Risk Factors of Silent Brain Infarcts in the Population-Based Rotterdam Scan Study
TL;DR: Age, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, cholesterol and homocysteine levels, intima-media thickness, carotid plaques, and smoking were associated with new silent brain infarcts in participants without prevalent infarCTs, and the cardiovascular risk factors are similar to those for stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral small-vessel disease and decline in information processing speed, executive function and memory
Niels D. Prins,Ewoud J. van Dijk,Tom den Heijer,Sarah E. Vermeer,Jellemer Jolles,Peter J. Koudstaal,Albert Hofman,Monique M.B. Breteler +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that in older people cerebral small-vessel disease may contribute to cognitive decline by affecting information processing speed and executive function.
