Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Atrial Fibrillation: An up to Date Case Report.

Concurrent Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) and Atrial Fibrillation are becoming an increasingly common dilemma in clinical practice due to the aging population and the comorbidities associated with it. In such patients, the physician must appreciate and strike the difficult balance between the risk of ischemic strokes from atrial fibrillation on one hand, and that of intracerebral hemorrhage from coexisting CAA on the other. Anticoagulation is necessary for the former but potentially deleterious for the latter.
