CONCLUSIONS
In patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis
Risk of stroke is declining over time
Medical treatment has improved
Annual risk of stroke on BMT < 1%
CONCLUSIONS
In patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis
There is a subgroup at high risk of stroke
We must identify this subgroup

PREDICTION OF STROKE IN ACS
CONCLUSIONS
In patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis
However, we don’t have level IA evidence of this afirmations
We need clinical trials
