Arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity, is an emerging risk factor for dementia through its relationships with cognition, cerebral small vessel disease, and β-amyloid deposition.

Is arterial stiffness associated with cognition, cerebral small vessel disease, and β-amyloid deposition?
Arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity is associated with dementia pathology, including cerebral small vessel disease and amyloid deposition.
OBJECTIVE: Arterial stiffness has been associated with evidence of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) and fibrillar β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition in the brain. These complex relationships have not been examined in racially and cognitively diverse cohorts. METHODS: ε4 status, and cognition. RESULTS: ε4 status. CONCLUSIONS: Arterial stiffness, measured by PWV, is an emerging risk factor for dementia through its repeated relationships with cognition, cSVD, and Aβ deposition.
Hughes et al. (Fri,) conducted a observational in Dementia pathology. Arterial stiffness (Pulse Wave Velocity) was evaluated on Cognition, cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), and β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition. Arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity, is an emerging risk factor for dementia through its relationships with cognition, cerebral small vessel disease, and β-amyloid deposition.
