A Cross-Sectional Investigation of Cognition and Ultrasound-Based Vascular Strain Indices.

CONCLUSIONS: Both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients demonstrate a relationship between vessel strain indices and executive function indicating that silent strokes and micro-emboli could initially contribute to a decline in executive function, whereas strokes and transient ischemic attacks may cause the further decline in other cognitive functions.
