Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) – lessons from the animal models

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) refers to a spectrum of clinical and imaging findings resulting from pathological processes of various etiologies affecting cerebral arterioles, perforating arteries, capillaries, and venules. Unlike large vessels, it is a challenge to visualize small vessels in...

CSVD might progress for many years during the early stage of the disease as it remains asymptomatic.
