Increased Left Ventricular Mass Index Is Associated With Compromised White Matter Microstructure Among Older Adults

Increased Left Ventricular Mass Index Is Associated With Compromised White Matter Microstructure Among Older Adults

Background Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is associated with cerebrovascular disease and cognitive decline. Increased LV mass index is a subclinical imaging marker that precedes overt LV hypertrophy. This study relates LV mass index to white matter microstructure and cognition among older adults...
