Why the study?
Are elevated anticardiolipin antibodies associated with cognitive dysfunction and structural brain abnormalities in stroke-free elderly individuals?
Are elevated anticardiolipin antibodies associated with cognitive dysfunction and structural brain abnormalities in stroke-free elderly individuals?
Elevated IgG anticardiolipin antibodies are associated with worse global cognitive function in stroke-free elderly individuals, a finding that does not appear to be mediated by structural vascular brain lesions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
IgG aCL associated with worse cognition independent of MRI lesions in stroke-free elderly; leaves open causality and clinical relevance.
Homayoon et al. (2013) studied this question.
