The Event‐Related P300 Potential Approach to Cognitive Functions of Nondemented Patients with Cerebral and Peripheral Arteriosclerosis

Abstract

As demonstrated by P300 potentials, even nondemented arteriosclerotic patients reveal signs of subtle cognitive dysfunction affecting especially the older cAD patient. In the short-term, carotid endarterectomy presumably improves cognitive functions unspecifically in nondemented patients with a higher initial degree of P300 abnormality.
