This study aims to assess the influence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors on hemorrhage risk of sporadic cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). From 1219 consecutive CCM patients (2003-2018), adult subjects with sporadic CCM and complete magnetic resonance imaging were included. We evaluat...
