The most common presentation of cerebrovascular disease is an ischemic stroke or mini-stroke and sometimes a hemorrhagic stroke. [2] Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the most important contributing risk factor for stroke and cerebrovascular diseases as it can change the structure of blood vessels and result in atherosclerosis. [5]
[1] [2] They are used to improve blood flow in people with cerebrovascular insufficiency and to treat neurological disorders secondary to this condition. [2] A number of different cerebral vasodilators exist. [2] [1] [3] An example is ifenprodil, which has been marketed for use as a cerebral vasodilator in France, Hong Kong, and Japan.
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS, sometimes called Call-Fleming syndrome) is a disease characterized by a weeks-long course of thunderclap headaches, sometimes focal neurologic signs, and occasionally seizures.

The presence of leptomeningeal collateral circulation in the brain is associated with better clinical outcomes after recanalization treatment. [80] Cerebrovascular reserve capacity is another factor that affects stroke outcome – it is the amount of increase in cerebral blood flow after a purposeful stimulation of blood flow by the physician ...
New research is contradicting previously held views that only neurons secret beta-amyloid that forms toxic plaques, a marker of Alzheimer's disease in the brain. The study points to another ...
