Patients with Alzheimer’s disease receiving amyloid-targeting treatments (ATTs) are at risk for improper evaluation of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in emergency care settings. Emergency medicine clinicians currently have insufficient clinical guidance pertaining to ARIA and its presentation in these patients. Imaging characteristics of ARIA can overlap with other imaging abnormalities, and it is important to recognize this for further investigation and implications for management. It is imperative that health care professionals in this setting routinely evaluate patients for suspected ARIA and be aware of ARIA signs and symptoms, assessing patient-related risk factors and timing of occurrence.
The first episode of this CMEO BriefCase series focuses on a patient case that requires differentiating ARIA from other conditions with a similar presentation in the emergency care setting, highlighting ARIA-related symptoms, listing other clinical manifestations of ARIA as described in clinical trials, and reviewing contraindicated medications for patients receiving an ATT.
