Dementia with Lewy Bodies: Is the Research Ready For Clinical Trials Through the Heart? Cardiology Tracer to Nail DLB Diagnosis Dementia with Lewy Bodies: Sharper Image for a Formerly Blurry Disease Brain Imaging: What Does it See in DLB? Lewy Pathology i
At the International Dementia with Lewy Bodies conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, fuzzy images of dying sympathetic cardiac nerve terminals proved to be a sharp aide to clinch this notoriously difficult diagnosis.
At a DLB meeting, scientists reported progress in disentangling the notorious overlap in symptoms and pathology in this quintessential spectrum disease. (Hint: tangles are bad.)
