Relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and plasma Aβ levels in patients with high risk of stroke

Background Growing evidence indicated that vascular factors contributed to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the relationship of atherosclerosis and AD is unclear. As Amyloid‐β (Aβ) deposition in the brain is a main pathophysiology of AD and plasma Aβ is closely related to Aβ deposition in the brain. In present study, we investigated the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and plasma Aβ levels. Method Patients with high...
