Elevated hemoglobin is independently associated with enlarged perivascular spaces in the central semiovale

Abstract Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) are widely considered as a feature of cerebral small vessel diseases (SVD), but its underlying pathology is still under active investigation. The aim of this study was to explore the association between hemoglobin level and the severity of EPVS. Consecuti...
