Advancing Alzheimer Disease Care Through Early Diagnosis and Collaboration
Gayatri Devi, MD, MS, FACP, FAAN, and Ronald Primas, MD, FACP, FACPM, DABIHM, CTH, explore how early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease and the proactive involvement of frontline clinicians are essential to timely identification and implementation of best practices for optimal patient care. The discussion highlights the evolving understanding of Alzheimer disease pathophysiology and emerging treatment options, emphasizing the growing importance of early detection and intervention. They examine risk factors and the critical role of biomarkers in accurately diagnosing and staging the disease, particularly in frontline care settings where clinicians often have the first opportunity to recognize subtle cognitive changes.
By leveraging patient trust and strengthening communication, clinicians can more effectively guide patients and families through diagnosis, referrals to neurologists, and consideration of disease-modifying therapies. The conversation also underscores the need for multidisciplinary collaboration in managing amyloid-related imaging abnormalities and other complexities of treatment.
Together, these insights reflect a shared commitment to improving outcomes and advancing the standard of care for individuals living with Alzheimer disease.
