Additional treatment options

Enhanced Neuroimaging Surveillance

Regular MRI monitoring to detect microbleeds, microhemorrhages, or white matter changes characteristic of CAA. imaging findings guide treatment decisions and risk assessment for anticoagulation or invasive procedures.

monitoring

Fall Prevention and Safety Modification

Comprehensive home safety assessment and modification program including removal of tripping hazards, installation of grab bars, improved lighting, and avoidance of anticoagulants when CAA burden is significant.

lifestyle

Vascular-Protective Nutritional Plan

Anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and low sodium with adequate hydration. Supports cerebrovascular health and may reduce progression of amyloid angiopathy.
