My mother in law is 83 and was having confusion and alzheimer's symptoms. We just found out that the Corotid artery on the left side of her neck was 100 percent blocked.
Hi there.
If you have a blocked carotid artery, then this can give rise to ischemic strokes in your brain. This can lead to death of some of your brain cells, depending on the pattern of blood and artery distribution.
Repeat strokes or death of brain cells caused by blocked arteries can give rise to a condition called vascular dementia. This means that the memory becomes impaired due to the death of these brain cells. The symptoms may be similar to that of alzheimer's disease.
