Determinants and Outcomes of Asymptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2021
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is one of the most common causes of stroke worldwide and confers a high risk of stroke recurrence, despite aggressive management of risk factors.This study identified the role of risk factors and risk of vascular events in subjects with asymptomatic ICAS for improved risk stratification.Stroke-free ...
