Correlation between Fibrinogen and White Matter Hyperintensities among Nondiabetic Individuals with Noncardiogenic Ischemic Stroke

Our study demonstrated that prior ischemic stroke and higher fibrinogen are associated with WMHs, regardless of PVH and DSWMH, in nondiabetic patients with noncardiogenic acute ischemic stroke. In addition, lipoprotein(a) might be an independent predictor of DSWMH in patients with noncardiogenic acute ischemic stroke.
