Summary
cSVD-IAC: Project Summary The overarching goal of cSVD- IAC is to characterize the burden of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) [white matter hyperintensities (WMH), lacunar infarcts, enlarged perivascular spaces, microbleeds, cerebral atrophy, and total cSVD score] as defined by brain MRI in a population-based indigenous African cohort. We will test the relationship between MRI cSVD metrics and retinal imaging cSVD metrics (by fundal photography and optical coherence tomography-angiography) to determine thresholds for predicting and detecting cSVD with a more accessible and affordable approa
