What does Alzheimer’s disease have to do with #Lewybodydementia (LBD)?

Many people living with Lewy also have Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology — the amyloid plaques and tau tangles associated with AD — in their brains at the same time. This co-pathology may affect how LBD looks and progresses — but what does that actually mean for people living with LBD and their care partners? This World Alzheimer’s Day, register to join neurologist Dr. Shannon Y. Chiu, MD, MSc, for “The Alzheimer’s Connection: Co-Pathology in Lewy Body Dementia” on September 24 at 1:00pm ET. Dr. Chiu will explore what we know about AD co-pathology in LBD, what it may mean for the course of the disease, and what researchers are learning through current research and clinical trials.
