Mild Stroke Study II (MSS-II)
MSS-II aimed to explore the influence of dietary salt intake and hypertension, together with plasma sodium concentration, in cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). In all, 264 patients with non-disabling cortical or lacunar strokes were included. Patients were questioned about their salt intake and plasma sodium concentration was measured. Participants returned approximately 1 to 3 months post-stroke and had a follow-up at 1 year for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI).
