Synopsis

In this study we investigated cerebrovascular health and vascular contributions to cognitive impairment in the presence and absence of amyloidosis. We employed various neuroimaging techniques including 4D-Flow, multi-delay ASL, T2-FLAIR, and structural T1 for vascular and structural biomarkers. β-amyloid (Aβ) burden was determined from PET imaging data. Data supports the notion that vascular dysfunction occurs in the presence and absence of , albeit with differing manifestations leading to cognitive decline.
