Abstract:
Silent brain infarction (SBI) is mainly diagnosed by brain imaging which is more common in the elderly population.It is considered as the early clinical stage of symptomatic cerebral infarction and cognitive impairment.Its risk factors include age,history of smoking,hypertension,diabetes,metabolic syndrome,carotid atherosclerosis,chronic kidney disease,atrial fibrillation,and obstructive sleep apnea.The related serum biological markers include high-sensitivity C reactive protein,homocysteine,cholesterol,uric acid,and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1.This article reviews the advances in research on the imaging characteristics,risk factors,serum biological markers and clinical significance of SBI.
