However, the pathophysiological process of EOAD remains unclear. We expected that ASL may show widespread cortical hypoperfusion in EOAD compared to LOAD and in nonamnestic EOAD compared to amnestic EOAD. METHODS: In this study, 26 EOAD patients (16 amnestic and 10 nonamnestic patients), 29 LOAD patients and 12 healthy controls underwent pseudo-continuous ASL and 3D FFE T1 sequences. Statistical comparisons between EOAD, LOAD and control groups were made after surface-based analysis of CBF maps in regressing out the cortical thickness. RESULTS: ASL showed a more severe hypoperfusion in nonamnestic EOAD patients compared to amnestic EOAD ones, with mean CBF values (± std) of 26.9 (± 3.8) and 46.6 (± 24.1) mL/100 g/min respectively (P = 0.014), located in the bilateral temporo-parietal neocortex, the precuneus, the posterior cingulate cortices (PCC) and frontal lobes. Comparison between EOAD and LOAD patients showed a trend to hypoperfusion in the left parietal lobe, PCC and precuneus in EOAD (P < 0.001 uncorrected). CONCLUSIONS: Different patterns of hypoperfusion between nonamnestic and amnestic EOAD subtypes were identified, with a more severe and extensive hypoperfusion in nonamnestic patients. A trend towards more severe hypoperfusion was detected in EOAD compared to LOAD. Further studies are needed to validate ASL as a potential tool for the distinction of EOAD subtypes and the prediction of the time course of the disease.Show less >
