Dissociable effects of Alzheimer disease and white matter hyperintensities on brain metabolism.
IMPORTANCE Cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer disease (AD) frequently co-occur and seem to act through different pathways in producing dementia. OBJECTIVE To examine cerebrovascular disease and AD markers in relation to brain glucose metabolism in patients with mild cognitive impairment. DESIGN AND SETTING Cohort study among the Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Initiative clinical sites in...
متن کاملThe effects of white matter hyperintensities and amyloid deposition on Alzheimer dementia
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated levels of amyloid deposition as well as white matter damage are thought to be risk factors for Alzheimer Disease (AD). Here we examined whether qualitative ratings of white matter damage predicted cognitive impairment beyond measures of amyloid. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study examined 397 cognitively normal, 51 very mildly demented, and 11 mildly demented indi...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities and cerebral amyloidosis: necessary and sufficient for clinical expression of Alzheimer disease?
IMPORTANCE Current hypothetical models emphasize the importance of β-amyloid in Alzheimer disease (AD) pathogenesis, although amyloid alone is not sufficient to account for the dementia syndrome. The impact of small-vessel cerebrovascular disease, visualized as white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) on magnetic resonance imaging scans, may be a key factor that contributes independently to AD pres...
متن کاملBrain glucose metabolism in vascular white matter disease with dementia: differentiation from Alzheimer disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The boundary between vascular dementia and Alzheimer disease (AD) continues to be unclear. Some posit that gradually progressive vascular dementia, as with small vessel disease, is simply vascular disease plus AD. Because AD presents a characteristic pattern on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, we sought to determine whether the fluorodeoxyglucose pattern o...
متن کاملSpatial distribution of white-matter hyperintensities in Alzheimer disease, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and healthy aging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE White-matter hyperintensities (WMHs) detected by magnetic resonance imaging are thought to represent the effects of cerebral small-vessel disease and neurodegenerative changes. We sought to determine whether the spatial distribution of WMHs discriminates between different disease groups and healthy aging individuals and whether these distributions are related to local cer...
