Abstract TP178: Pre-existing Volume of White Matter Disease Predicts Ischemic Stroke

Abstract only Background: Patients are more likely to develop white matter disease (WMD) and microhemorrhage (MH) after ischemic stroke. Little is known about whether stroke patients had an increased prevalence of these findings before a stroke compared to patients who did not go on to develop a str...

Description
Summary:Abstract only Background: Patients are more likely to develop white matter disease (WMD) and microhemorrhage (MH) after ischemic stroke. Little is known about whether stroke patients had an increased prevalence of these findings before a stroke compared to patients who did not go on to develop a stroke. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients admitted to our institution with ischemic stroke between 5/16 - 12/17 who had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain between 30 days-2 years prior to their stroke. Age and gender-matched controls for the initial MRI were identified for pair-wise comparison. Automatic segmentations of gray and white matter volumes and manual segmentation of WMD and MH (size
