To evaluate the relationship between glymphatic system dysfunction and the clinical and radiological severity of cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
Assessed glymphatic clearance function in individuals diagnosed with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).
Calculated the diffusion tensor imaging analysis along the perivascular space (ALPS) index to quantify glymphatic transport capacity.
Examined statistical associations between the ALPS index, cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) burden, cognitive status, and recurrence of disease.
Patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy exhibited measurable impairment in glymphatic fluid transport.
Lower ALPS index values demonstrated significant associations with increased small vessel disease severity, worse cognitive impairment, and higher rates of disease recurrence.

Implication

Observational study reveals impaired glymphatic function links to disease severity and cognitive decline in cerebral amyloid angiopathy, highlighting clearance failure in vascular dementia.

Abstract

Patients with CAA showed impaired glymphatic function. The ALPS index was significantly related to CSVD severity, cognitive impairment and disease recurrence in CAA.
