Both conditions arise from the same mechanism - plaque build up. At least the coronary issues have the potential to be addressed via stent or bypass, but as my neurologist said "we can't roto root your brain". Good luck!

Hi Keith,
Thank you for your note and sentiments. I am preparing for a cath and stent(s) in the coming days. Looking forward to getting that relief. Hope you are well and please take good care.
Sincerely,
Sarah

I thought that CSVD (cerebral small vessel disease) was irreversible. Is there any treatments that you’re aware of?
