Summary

This study enrolls 500 people with signs of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), a condition affecting tiny blood vessels in the brain. Participants undergo advanced MRI scans and genetic testing to look for inherited forms of the disease. Researchers will track strokes and dementia over at least two years to better understand how these diseases progress.
