Aggravated ischemic magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease without apparent clinical worsening.
The detection by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cerebral ischemic pathology in patients with cerebral infarction (chronic stage) was investigated. The purpose of the study was to determine whether or not there was exacerbation of hypertense foci on MRI during the observation period without worsening of clinical and neurological symptoms and to consider what risk factors play a role in the aggravation of new ischemic foci on MRI.
