There is an increasing appreciation of the vascular contributions in the development of age-
related cognitive impairment and dementia1, 2. Identifying risk and maintaining cognitive …

Carotid revascularization may lead to improved cognitive function beyond stroke prevention.
This article summarizes the conclusions from available studies on the effects of carotid …

Background and purpose Patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis, even without stroke,
are at high risk for cognitive impairment, and the neuroanatomical basis remains unclear …

The objective of this study is to examine whether metabolic syndrome (MetS), the clustering
of 3 or more cardiovascular risk factors, disrupts the resting-state functional connectivity (FC) …

Background Severe carotid stenosis is associated with cognitive impairment, which may be
attributed to asymptomatic microembolism and/or chronic hypoperfusion. We aim to evaluate …

Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and occlusion (CAO) disrupt cerebral
hemodynamics. There are few studies on the brain network changes and compensation …

Background and objectives Leukoaraiosis and infarcts are common in patients with carotid
artery stenosis (CAS), and CAS severity, leukoaraiosis and infarcts all have been implicated …

The incidence of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is more common in Asians
compared to Caucasian (1). It is found there is a decreased incidence of ischemic stroke in …

Background Patients with carotid atherosclerotic stenosis (CAS) often have varying degrees
of cognitive decline. However, there is little evidence regarding how brain morphological …

Background: The revascularization of carotid arteries minimizes the risk of future cerebral
stroke and usually improves cognitive functions. The aim of this study was to assess …
