Discover the intricacies of small vessel ischemic disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) with expert neurologist Dr. Andreas Charidimou.
& so much more
We dive into the everyday challenges faced by primary care physicians interpreting MRI results, offering expertise on distinguishing small vessel disease from migraine and demyelinating conditions, all while emphasizing the importance of correlating clinical symptoms with imaging for accurate diagnoses.
Navigating cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) diagnosis, this episode sheds light on the inadequacies of the Boston criteria and the quest for reliable biomarkers. As we explore the importance of accurate CAA identification in the era of anti-amyloid therapies, we also offer insights into managing the blurred lines between transient neurological episodes, TIAs, seizures, and amyloid spells, with a special focus on the role of imaging and the nuanced prescription of anti-epileptic drugs.
