Alzheimer’s Disease — Anti-Amyloid Medications, Early Detection, and Screening

In this Double Take video from the New England Journal of Medicine, Drs. Nathanial Chin and Stephen Salloway review the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and discuss how anti-amyloid medications can help in early stages of the disease. The video notes disparities in diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and provides guidance on screening and diagnosis and on which patients should be referred to specialty care.
