Meaning
CARDIAC ARREST, ALZHEIMER DISEASE
These findings of the increase and dynamics of p-tau in blood following cardiac arrest, which differ from those of t-tau and NfL, suggest alternative mechanisms of p-tau origin and release from the increases observed due to Aβ deposition and neuronal tau phosphorylation in Alzheimer disease.This case-control study evaluates the potential role of blood phosphorylated tau and amyloid-β peptides in neurological prognostication following cardiac arrest.
