Silent Ischemic Infarcts Are Associated with Hemorrhage Burden in Cerebral Amyloid Angiography
Neurol 72:1230-1235, Kimberly,W.T.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
MRI evidence of small subacute infarcts is present in a substantial proportion of living patients with advanced cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). The presence of these lesions is associated with a higher burden of hemorrhages, but not with conventional vascular risk factors. This suggests that advanced CAA predisposes to ischemic infarction as well as intracerebral hemorrhage.
