Vascular Burden Score Impacts Cognition Independent of Amyloid PET and MRI Measures of Alzheimer’s Disease and Vascular Brain Injury

Background/Objective: To determine the impact of vascular burden on rates of decline in episodic memory and executive function. We hypothesize that greater vascular burden will have an additive negative impact on cognition after accounting for baseline cognitive impairment, positron emission tomography (PET) amyloid burden, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures.
