Associated Disease Details

Disease ID: I16
DO ID: 6713
Disease Name: Cerebrovascular disease
Definition: An vascular disease that is characterized by dysfunction of the blood vessels supplying the brain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrovascular_disease, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK378/
Synonyms: Stroke; Cerebrovascular accident; cerebrovascular disorder; CVA
Class: disease of anatomical entity/ cardiovascular system disease/ vascular disease/cerebrovascular disease
Related Drugs: Dabigatran Etexilate; Atorvastatin; Rosuvastatin; Telmisartan
Mechanism: NAFLD per se may be involved in cerebral atherosclerotic disease. It will be interesting to draw longitudinal studies to determine whether these changes could evolve in more serious cerebral injury. It is also becoming apparent that NAFLD is associated with moderate cerebral dysfunction and cognitive decline. A possible link between NAFLD and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has only recently been proposed due to the multiple shared genes and pathological mechanisms contributing to the development of these conditions.
