CAA Forum
Welcome to the website of the International cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) Association, your hub for all things related to CAA. Our vision is to inform patients, clinicians, and scientists, welcome new investigators into the global CAA research community, strengthen existing collaborations, and to announce recent publications, upcoming events, and the bi-annual International CAA Association conference.
New International Guidelines for Diagnosing and Managing Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
The International CAA Association (ICAAA) in partnership with the World Stroke Organization, is delighted to present updated guidelines for the diagnosis and management of CAA, published in the International Journal of Stroke: “Diagnosis and Management of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: A Scientific Statement from the International CAA Association and the World Stroke Organization”.
The guidelines – which have been the result of more than two years of dedicated collaborative work by representatives from the international CAA field – cover five topics in clinical practice:
1) Diagnosis, testing, and prediction of intracerebral hemorrhage risk;
2) Antithrombotic agents and vascular interventions;
3) Vascular risk factors and concomitant medications;
4) Treatment of CAA manifestations;
5) Diagnosis and treatment of CAA-related inflammation and vasculitis.
We hope these guidelines will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians worldwide, improving the diagnosis and management of CAA and raising awareness of this common condition.
Images of CAA, a new informative webpage, is now live!
“Images of CAA” is a project in which we want to share pictures of research into CAA. Researchers use special imaging tools to study CAA, which often results in very detailed and interesting pictures.
We want to share some of these pictures with you! The images are meant to be informative, but we hope you will also appreciate that they can be quite beautiful.
Please have a look at the page and check back later to see new additions. We hope you will find the page useful and valuable.
Are you a researcher who wants to contribute to the page? Please reach out to us at office@caaforum.org!
