A neurodegenerative vascular burden index and the impact on cognition

A neurodegenerative vascular burden index and the impact on cognition

A wide range of vascular burden factors have been identified to impact vascular function and structure as indicated by carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). On the basis of their impact on IMT, vascular factors may be selected and clustered in a vascular burden index (VBI). Since many vascular facto...
