Prospectively Collected Cardiovascular Biomarkers and White Matter Hyperintensity Volume in Ischemic Stroke Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few prospective cohort studies collect detailed information on stroke characteristics among individuals who experience ischemic stroke, including white matter hyperintensity volume, and thus cannot explore how prospectively collected biomarkers prior to the stroke influence white matter hyperintensity volume. We explored the association between a large panel of prospectively collected lipid and inflammatory biomarkers and white matter hyperintensity volume among participants in the Women's Health Study with incident ischemic stroke.

Methods

Among Women's Health Study participants with first ischemic stroke who had baseline serum biomarkers and available magnetic resonance imaging, we measured white matter hyperintensity volume using a validated semi-automated meth
