What is the prevalence of asymptomatic coronary artery disease requiring PCI in patients with lacunar infarction?
What is the prevalence of asymptomatic coronary artery disease requiring PCI in patients with lacunar infarction?
Nearly one-quarter of patients with lacunar infarction had asymptomatic coronary artery disease requiring PCI, highlighting the potential utility of CAD screening in this population, particularly among those with elevated HbA1c and LDL-C.
May support targeted CAD screening in lacunar infarction with elevated HbA1c or LDL-C; leaves open whether it improves outcomes.
