ARIA is short for “amyloid-related imaging abnormalities,” with imaging referring to the MRI scans needed to find the brain bleeding and swelling. “Clearly, it is more than just an imaging abnormality,” said Dr. Matthew Schrag, who helped with an autopsy that concluded Lane died of brain swelling and bleeding that was likely caused by Leqembi. “My feeling is that ARIA is too euphemistic of a term. It conveys that this isn’t serious, and it certainly can be,” he said. https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2024-06-17/alzheimers-drug-has-potentially-fatal-side-effects
