Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, cognitive decline and dementia: a prospective population-based cohort study

2026-08-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS) increases the risk of stroke, and is associated with cognitive decline. This association might be driven by underlying atherosclerotic disease instead of the stenosis itself, which could explain why studies on the cognitive benefits of carotid revascularisation are inconclusive. Methods Between 2007-2012, dementia-free participants of the population...
