Extent and characteristics of carotid plaques and brain parenchymal loss in asymptomatic patients with no indication for revascularization

Extent and characteristics of carotid plaques and brain parenchymal loss in asymptomatic patients with no indication for revascularization

Background and aims: Extent of subclinical atherosclerosis has been associated with brain parenchymal loss in community-dwelling aged subjects. Identification of patient-related and plaque-related markers could identify subjects at higher risk of brain atrophy, independent of cerebrovascular acciden...
