About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn about neuroimage and biomarkers in the cerebral small vessel disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How does neurovascular coupling change during the progression of CSVD? * How is the pattern/mapping of alterations in CSVD biomarkers? Participants will be observed and visit the research center annually to perform multi-modal MRI, PET, neuropsychological tests, and blood tests.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years.

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) with a total Fazekas score ≥2;

Fazekas score =1 with at least two vascular risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, current smoking, or a history of vascular events other than stroke);

Fazekas score =1 accompanied by the presence of lacunes;

Disqualifiers

Acute ischemic stroke with a diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion >20 mm in diameter.

Acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

Acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, a history of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage or cerebrovascular malformation, or the presence of an untreated intracranial aneurysm >3 mm in diameter.

Previously diagnosed neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Parkinson's disease (PD).

Trial population

The population consists of vascular dementia, vascular mild cognitive impairment, and cognitively normal participants.
