Cerebrospinal Fluid β‐Amyloid and τ Levels in Patients With Iatrogenic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Sporadic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Alzheimer Disease, and Controls

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (iCAA) is a subform of cerebral amyloid angiopathy caused by exposure to amyloid β. The aim of this study was to assess cerebrospinal fluid amyloid and τ concentrations in iCAA in comparison with sporadic
