Time is brain for carotid endarterectomy : The Lancet Neurology

Time is brain for carotid endarterectomy : Ther earlier you do it the more you save.

Carotid atherosclerosis is also observed in a large proportion of Alzheimer's disease patients References  and in animal models  carotid occlusion and cerebral hypoperfusion produces many of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease References Perhaps routine Duplex ultrasonography /Doppler carotid screening in the aged population would be useful and perhaps endarectomy would be useful in a much larger number of patients.
