Why the study?
Is impaired cerebrovascular reactivity associated with an increased risk of ischemic events in patients with severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis?
Is impaired cerebrovascular reactivity associated with an increased risk of ischemic events in patients with severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis?
Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity may serve as a risk marker for ipsilateral ischemic events in patients with severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
May flag higher-risk asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients; leaves open whether reactivity testing refines revascularization decisions.
These results suggest a link between impaired cerebrovascular reactivity and the risk of ischemic events ipsilateral to severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
