Plasma beta-amyloid 1-40 is associated with the diffuse small vessel disease subtype.
Stroke. 2009 Oct;40(10):3197-201, PMID: 19696416
The underlying mechanisms of small vessel disease (SVD) subtypes are diffuse arteriopathy (diffuse-SVD) or microatheroma (focal-SVD). Endothelial dysfunction by beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) deposition has been associated with lacunar infarcts and leukoaraiosis, but its specific relationship with SVD subtypes is unknown. We hypothesized that plasma Abeta levels can play a different role in SVD subtypes in patients with acute lacunar stroke.
