Synopsis

Keywords: Dementia, White Matter, carotid artery stenosisPatients with carotid artery stenosis (CAS) have a high prevalence of cognitive impairment. White matter hyperintensity (WMH) is one of the most common imaging signs of chronic brain injury in the elderly. We investigated the relationship between WMH load and cognitive decline in CAS patients. Our results suggested that Fazekas score and WMH volume quantification can be a potential simple biomarker for predicting cognitive function in CAS patients.
