Dr. Sam Gandy: “Blocked: 1969 Super Bowl Star Dave Herman Diagnosed with CTE”
Seventy-three-year-old former defensive lineman Dave Herman, who played a major role in helping the New York Jets win the 1969 Super Bowl, experienced game-related episodes of amnesia towards the end of his career and problems with short-term memory in the decades since. Assuming it to be Alzheimer’s disease, Mr. Herman and his wife went to Mount Sinai Hospital hoping to enroll him in a clinical trial testing therapies for the disease. “Five experts who focus on memory disorders couldn’t agree on whether it was Alzheimer’s disease (AD),” says Sam Gandy, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurology and psychiatry, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Director of the Center for Cognitive Health and NFL Neurological Care at The Mount Sinai Hospital.
