Cerebrospinal Fluid Amyloid‐β Biomarkers Predict Future Hemorrhage in Patients with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Accurately predicting future hemorrhagic events in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) remains a major clinical challenge. It is unknown whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of amyloid‐beta (Aβ) pathology are associated with increased hemorrhage risk in this population.
