Plasma Aβ (Amyloid-β) Levels and Severity and Progression of Small Vessel Disease

Abstract

Plasma Aβ levels are associated with both presence and progression of SVD markers, suggesting that Aβ pathology might contribute to the development and progression of SVD. Plasma Aβ levels might thereby serve as inexpensive and noninvasive measure for identifying individuals with increased risk for progression of SVD.
