Previously observed sex differences in hemorrhage onset and progression in CAA patients are likely not due to differences in global CAA severity between men and women. Other factors, such as vascular remodeling, may contribute, but future studies are necessary to replicate our findings in larger data sets and to further investigate the underlying mechanisms behind these complex sex differences.
