Carotid artery syndrome (hemispheric) - what does this mean
Carotid artery syndrome (hemispheric) is a condition caused by a narrowing or blockage of the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. this narrowing or blockage can limit or reduce the amount of oxygenated blood that reaches the brain, leading to a range of symptoms such as stroke, transient ischemic attack, and cognitive decline.
What happens during the disease - carotid artery syndrome (hemispheric)
Carotid artery syndrome (hemispheric) is caused by a narrowing of the carotid arteries, which are the major arteries that supply blood to the brain. this narrowing can be caused by plaque buildup in the artery walls, which can reduce blood flow to the brain and lead to a variety of symptoms, including stroke, confusion, and even death. in some cases, the narrowing can also lead to a transient ischemic attack, which is a brief episode of stroke-like symptoms.
