AB  - This article presents results from a cross-sectional study (NCT01353196) that demonstrated significantly worse cognition in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis compared with patients with vascular risk factors but no stenosis. The difference was driven primarily by poor motor and processing speed and learning and memory in patients with asymptomatic carotid disease, with deficits ranging from mild to moderate.
