The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $4,390,219 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The 3-year project aims to determine the prognostic importance of atrial myopathy for incident dementia in the oldest-old population, relate atrial myopathy progression to cognitive decline and biomarkers, and identify risk factors and signatures associated with adverse atrial myopathy trajectories. The research will leverage the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) cohort and will be replicated in two independent community-based studies. Findings are expected to broaden understanding of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia, identify new targets for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias prevention, and inform future clinical trials.
