Cerebral atrophy on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been associated with vascular risk factors including hypertension. Progression of cerebral atrophy and its risk factors have not been studied in vascular disease patients. This study aimed to assess the progression of cerebral atrophy and to evaluate possible associations with blood pressure (BP) in patients with pre-existing vascular disease.
