Introduction:Prior studies have shown the association between oral infection, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), a marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), and asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS). In this study, we evaluated the relationship between flossing and ICAS, defined as 50% stenosis.

About a fifth of all ischemic strokes are attributed to embolization of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque from carotid arterial stenosis. But it has been difficult to predict which person with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is likely to progress to symptomatic carotid disease and stroke.

At the patient level, those with reduced CFR showed a significantly higher prevalence of diffused atherosclerosis (41% vs. 23%; P < 0.001) and higher FAI (−75.5 HU In the patient-level analysis, obstructive CAD, diffused atherosclerosis, and FAI were independently linked with CFR. Results We detected a decrease in CFR (<2.5)
