First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 39 times

Summary

This study looks at whether the same amyloid plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's also build up in the heart. Researchers will perform extra heart scans on 15 patients already getting a brain PET scan for Alzheimer's. The goal is to understand if heart problems in these patients are linked to the same disease process, which could lead to better diagnosis for both conditions.
