asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease (APAD), a highly prevalent condition in the general older population, is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular events because of co-existing clinical or subclinical cerebral atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cognitive function is impaired in stroke- and transient ischaemic attack-free patients with APAD, and whether inflammatory and haemostatic markers are associated independently with neuropsychological performance.
