Cerebrovascular Health
A partnership between patients and investigators dedicated to improving brain health by finding treatments to prevent stroke, enhance the recovery of those who suffer strokes, and preserve brain function with aging.
The Work We Do
Cerebrovascular disease encompasses much more than strokes.
While diseases of the brain’s blood vessels are most often recognized when a person has a stroke, they also cause progressive decline in cognition, memory and gait as we age, as well as late-life depression. Preventing cerebrovascular disease therefore holds the hope of transforming the aging process and preserving our brain function as we age.
At the core of our work is a partnership with patients. Patients graciously contribute their time, share their medical histories, answer questionnaires, undergo neuroimaging, and donate blood and tissue samples.
