Early detection of various conditions can help physicians better manage and treat their patients, and Alzheimer's is no exception. What early screening tests of cognitive impairment or dementia should be administered by primary care providers help detect when the disease process is beginning? Dr. James Galvin, professor in the departments of neurology and psychiatry at New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City, joins host Dr. Eric Tangalos to discuss the correlation between higher scores on cognitive impairment screening tests (such as the AD8 dementia screening test) and the presence of biomarkers for Alzheimer's. How effective is second stage confirmation of Alzheimer's with the use of biomarkers, and what role will biomarkers play in development of new therapies for this condition?
