Does asymptomatic embolization predict stroke and TIA risk in patients with carotid artery stenosis?
Asymptomatic embolization in patients with carotid artery stenosis correlates with known markers of increased stroke risk and is an independent predictor of future stroke risk in patients with both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis. It may allow identification of a high-risk group of patients who will particularly benefit from carotid endarterectomy. A large multicenter study is now required to confirm these findings.
In this dataset, we could find no evidence of an order effect when modules on BPH-specific and overall health status were combined in different sequences.
