small vessel vasculopathy of the brain what is this
The area of the brain that is affected by small vessel ischemic disease is where the brain cells and the neurons are connected. The tiny vessels that bring blood flow to that area are called small vessels, while large vessels bring blood flow to large organs including the heart, kidneys and lungs.mall vessel ischemic disease is actually a byproduct of other diseases and the impact that those diseases have on the brain's white matter. Unlike a disease of the brain itself, it is what happens to the brain during the progression of certain chronic conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure.
