Impact of the Mediterranean Diet on stroke incidence and cognitive impairment in CADASIL and CAA patients: the DIETETICA study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), including Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA), is a major cause of non-sporadic stroke and cognitive impairment.
