Poster: A Case of Recurrent Syncope

Nora Lee, Christopher Forest

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

Carotid Stenosis

Most common cause: atherosclerotic changes beginning in adolescence
Accounts for 9% of ischemic strokes
Worsened with endothelial damage and plaque accumulation
Indications for carotid duplex ultrasound: bruit, dizziness, syncope, or history of ischemic event
If no TIA or stroke in past 6 months, stenosis is considered asymptomatic
Management: antiplatelets, statins, anti-hypertensives, diabetes control, smoking cessation, and lifestyle modifications
Immediate CEA with medication in asymptomatic patients with >60% stenosis decreases risk of ischemic stroke from10% to 5% over 10 years
