Synopsis

We have reported reliable MRI measures of non-atherosclerotic brain arterial remodeling (NABAR), as assessed by outward and tortuous remodeling of the large intracranial arteries in older individuals. This will allow us to elucidate the predictors of prevalent and progressing NABAR, and its correlations with brain hypoperfusion and cognition function in an older community-based population.
