Chronic Microvascular Ischemic Disease: Understanding the Condition and the Impact of Long COVID

Introduction:

Chronic Microvascular Ischemic Disease (CMVID) is a condition that affects the small blood vessels in the brain, leading to a range of neurological problems.

This disease primarily impacts older adults and is often associated with common vascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent emergence of long COVID has added another layer of complexity to the understanding and management of CMVID.

This book delves into the origins, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of CMVID and explores how long COVID can exacerbate this already challenging condition.
