The Delay in Reporting Symptoms of Carotid Artery Stenosis in an At-Risk Population
Arch Neurol 54:1267-1271, Castaldo,J.E.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Despite extensive education and reinforcement,fewer than 40%of all first events were reported within 3 days and fewer than 25%were reported in less than 24 hours.Frequent outpatient evaluation of high-risk patients and careful review of symptoms is necessary to determine when asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis has become symptomatic to offer appropriate forms of therapy.
