Can i live a long healthy life with small vessel desease brain?

Complex discussion: The answer depends on how you got this diagnosis. Many patients in 50's or older have non-specific, seemingly minor, findings on brain scan. Radiologists struggle with what to say about these minor, non-specific findings. Often they are given a label of "small vessel disease" more in service to providing a label than in service to confirming a brain state. Not an easy discussion.
