Having high blood pressure can greatly increase the possibility of suffering from a stroke or heart attack. An increase of white matter on an MRI scan may help measure both risks. Ischemic changes in white matter, relative to chronic periventricular, are commonly found by examining MRI scans. Ischemic change in white matter can be attributed to Diabetes, a high content of fat in the blood and high blood pressure, which all can be attributed to raising the risk of having a stroke.

What is chronic ischemic change?
Chronic microvascular ischemic changes are when there are tiny blood vessels in the brain that have ruptured or clotted. This causes very small strokes.

Chronic microangiopathic ischemic changes are areas of the brain that show up during radiology, usually MRIs, that depict clotted off or ruptured blood vessels. These are usually related to other serious conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
What is Two punctate foci of T2 hyperintensity in the subcortical white matter of the lateral anterior left frontal lobe?
Can hyponatremia cause white matter suggestive of minimal chronic microvascular ischemic change. The grey-white differentiation is maintained. minimal chronic microvascular ischemic on a brain scan?
What are chronic parenchymal changes of the brain?

You had an MRI of the brain which showed chronic white ischemic changes What does this mean and how is it treated?
Chronic white ischemic changes, and many other similar sounding terms, all relate to the identification of abnormal hyperintense signal foci in the white matter of brain. The number, size, pattern and distribution of the anomalies, as well as the patient demographics and history all contribute to a differential diagnosis, whereby the radiologist reading the exam tries to attribute a cause to the anomalies. Often times, a certain number of anomalies are noted, which when all criteria are considered, seem to be part of the normal spectrum of findings. This is particularly true of older individuals, where it is a common finding. The lesions themselves are not cause for concern, and no treatment per se is necessary.

What does chronic ischemic demyelination mean?
The nerves cells and brain cells have isolating cells around themselves that are called myelin. Demyelination means reduction of the number or size of those cells. Chronic means that the reduction lasts a long time or is permanent. Ischemic means that it is caused by lack of oxygen, which is most often due to bad blood supply. The condition will reduce the effectiveness of the conduction of nerve impulses or even cause nerve cells to get damaged too.
