Abstract:
Transcranial Doppler can detect the presence of microembolic signal in patients at high risk of stroke as well as in invasive cardiovascular examinations and surgical procedure.A growing number of evidence has suggested that cerebral microemboli may cause cognitive impairment.This article reviews the effects of cerebral microemboli on cognitive function.
