[Clustering of diagnostic MRI signs of cerebral microangiopathy and its relationship with markers of inflammation and angiogenesis].

Clustering of diagnostic MRI signs into MRI types of SVD with significant differences in the severity of clinical manifestations suggests the pathogenetic heterogeneity of age-related SVD. The relationship of MRI types with circulating markers of different mechanisms of vascular wall and brain damage indicates the dominant role of depletion of angiogenesis in the formation of MRI type 1 and increased inflammation in the formation of MRI type 2. Further studies are needed to clarify the criteria and diagnostic value of differentiation of MRI types of SVD, and also their mechanisms with the definition of pathogenetically justified prevention and treatment of various forms of SVD.
