Does asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis predict vascular events in patients with clinical manifestations of arterial disease or type 2 diabetes but without a history of cerebral ischemia?
Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis independently predicts vascular events and death in patients with arterial disease or type 2 diabetes.
Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is an independent predictor of vascular events, especially vascular death, in patients with clinical manifestations of arterial disease or type 2 diabetes but without a history of cerebral ischemia.
Goessens et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
