Cerebral amyloid angiopathy associated with inflammation - Hugh Markus

This podcast interview is based on the article Cerebral amyloid angiopathy associated with inflammation (CAA-I): a systematic review of clinical and imaging features and outcome, by Andrej Corovic, Siobhan Kelly and Hugh Markus.

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy associated with inflammation (CAA-I) is an increasingly recognised condition, characterised by an inflammatory response to the vascular deposits of β-amyloid within the brain that are the hallmark of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). 

I’m Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke and I spoke to Dr Hugh Markus who along with authors Siobhan Kelly and first author Andrej Corovic sought to summarise the clinical features, imaging appearances and available data on outcome and treatment responses, using information derived from a systematic review of pathologically-proven cases of CAA-I.
