Prognosis of incidentally detected asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: A prospective hospital-based cohort study
Asymptomatic ICAS detected by TCD incidentally in hospital-based, stroke-free populations carries a substantial risk of symptomatic transition and subsequent adverse outcomes. These findings underscore the prognostic importance of identifying asymptomatic ICAS clinically and highlight the necessity for intensive vascular risk factor management in this under-recognized group to guide primary stroke prevention strategies.
