Coronary microvascular function is impaired in patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy

Abstract

CADASIL patients exhibit blunted CFR due to CMD, which can be severe and is independent of the severity of brain lesion load and cognitive performances. CADASIL is a systemic microcirculation disease, and active surveillance of cardiac symptoms should be considered in these patients.
