We examined whether location and progression of white-matter lesions (WMLs), lacunar infarcts and atrophy were associated with motivational and mood symptoms in patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291711001383_sec_a002\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>In 578 patients [63 (<jats:sc>s.d<\/jats:sc>.=8) years] of the Second Manifestations of ARTerial disease (SMART)-Medea study, volumes of WMLs and atrophy and visually rated infarcts were obtained with 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and after 3.9 (<jats:sc>s.d<\/jats:sc>.=0.4) years' follow-up.

Lacunar infarcts in deep white matter were associated with greater motivational [Incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2\u20132.4] and mood (IRR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1\u20132.6) sumscores, and with symptoms of psychomotor retardation, energy loss and depressed mood; lacunar infarcts in the thalamus were associated with psychomotor retardation only.
