FOME scores when compared to those with WMH ratings below the 50 percentile. Conclusions: A history of CABG is an apparent risk factor for developing aMCI and dementia as well as for having higher WMH ratings. Those with CABG who had high WMH ratings had greater medial temporal atrophy, suggesting that there are related mechanisms for developing WMH and neurodegenerative disease among these subjects.
