%X In light of growing evidence highlighting interactions between cardiac and brain health, we investigated associations of biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases with adverse outcomes (all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, major cardiovascular events, and stroke) in persons with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).We used data from a cohort of persons with CCS for whom major adverse events were recorded over a follow-up of 20 years. We measured biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases in baseline blood samples, using the Single-Molecule Array Technology on a HD-1 Analyzer. These include biomarkers of neuronal (neurofilament light chain (NfL) (n = 379)) and glial neurodegeneration (glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (n = 379)), and Alzheimer's disease pathology (phosphorylated tau181 (n = 379), total tau (n = 377), and amyloid β (Aβ40, Aβ42, Aβ42/Aβ40) (n = 377)). We applied Cox-proportional hazards models to evaluate associations of these biomarkers with adverse outcomes, adjusting for covariates and exploring interactions with apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ε4 genotype.Participants with higher NfL levels had increased rates of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (Hazard ratio per increase by one standard deviation (95
