Synopsis

Keywords: Blood Vessels, White Matter

Motivation: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is closely related to cerebrovascular injury. However, even when the ejection fraction (EF) is normal, the cardiac microvascular system may still be abnormal.

Goal(s): Explore the relationship between CVD with preserved EF and cerebrovascular injury.

Approach: The heart and brain MRI of the participants were scanned with 3.0T MRI scanner. Different cardiac ejection parameters and high signal images of white matter were obtained.

Results: Patients with CVD, when EF is normal, are still associated with WMH and are still a risk factor for brain injury.

Impact: t is crucial to pay early attention to the early indicators of cerebrovascular abnormalities in patients with heart failure, as timely intervention is essential for reducing the risk of stroke.
