Question 1

what is chronic periventricular white matter microvascular ischemic disease?

Accepted Answer

Patchy insulation: Chronic means this process has been going on for years in the brain. White matter is the part of the brain where the "communication cables" are, and they are "white" because of myelin insulation. The ventricles are fluid-filled "shock absorber" spaces inside the brain. Ischemic means they have been deprived oxygen, microvascular means in tiny blood vessels. Mini-stroke strips off some insulation.

Question 2

few punctate t2, flair hyperintense signal seen bilateral subcortical white matter.does this correlate microvascular disease in brain?

Accepted Answer

: Could in older patient, but at age 17, unless you have a genetic disorder, such as homocystinuria, I would doubt it!  More likely a sign of prior cigarette smoking, head trauma, and far less likely, prior infections and MS.

Question 6

hi doctors, was just wondering what is coronary microvascular disease?

Accepted Answer

Small vessel: The big coronary vessels divide and subdivide to form micro vessels which supply the muscles of the heart. Diseases like diabetes can cause atherosclerosis of those tiny vessels where our catheters and wires don't go and we can't balloon or stent it. Usually if you have micro vascular disease we just treat with medications which can help in dilating them.

Question 7

what does chronic microvascular disease mean?

Accepted Answer

Microvascular diseas: It means the diffuse microvascularity at the distal end of the arterial tree is narrowed so that end vessel flow is impaired and unless a way can be found to open up the microvasculature chronic ischemia of the beds supplied will be present.

Question 8

what is cerebral microvascular disease?

Accepted Answer

Small brain vessels: The carotids and vertebrals and branches with names are macro.The small intra cerebral vessels are micro.
If atherosclerosis deposits in small vessels that is micro vessel disease.

Question 9

what's coronary microvascular disease diagnosed with?

Accepted Answer

Clinically: This is a clinical diagnosis when stress tests and angiograms reveal no significant obstructions but individuals still have anginal symptoms...In particular diabetics.

Question 10

is there a connection between microvascular disease with copd?

Accepted Answer

COPD Vascular Diseas: Patient with advanced copd, if due to nicotine abuse, usually the case, will have micro vascular disease, all over. It is a systemic disease. Hence forth heart attack, stroke, legs pain, angina etc. Etc. COPD patient is high risk, for micro-angiopathy.
