Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis

Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is a condition where the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain, become narrowed due to plaque buildup. The term "asymptomatic" means that the person does not experience any symptoms, such as dizziness or strokes, even though the arteries are narrowed. This condition is often discovered during routine check-ups. While some people may remain healthy, significant narrowing can increase the risk of stroke in the future. Regular monitoring and lifestyle changes can help manage this condition and reduce risks to brain health.
