Interarm Blood Pressure Difference has Various Associations with the Presence and Burden of Cerebral Small-Vessel Diseases in Noncardioembolic Stroke Patients

Background and Purpose An interarm blood pressure difference (IABD) is independently related to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Cerebral small-vessel diseases (SVDs) are important risk factors for stroke, cognitive dysfunction, and mortality. We aimed to determine whether IABD is related to cerebral SVDs.
