The AHA has issued a new scientific statement on the link between three common cardiovascular diseases and the risk for cognitive impairment and dementia.
The American Heart Association has issued a new scientific statement on the link between heart failure , atrial fibrillation , and coronary heart disease and the increased risk for cognitive impairment and dementia.
However, that’s only part of the puzzle and doesn’t address all the gaps in the understanding of how cardiovascular disease contributes to cognition, said Testai. Another potential shared mechanism relates to biomarkers, particularly amyloid, which is strongly linked to Alzheimer’s disease. This indicates that the link between the two organs “begins as early as conception” and underscores the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle habits as early as possible, he added.
Testai referred to the AHA’s “Life’s Essential 8” — the eight components of cardiovascular health. These include a healthy diet, participation in physical activity, nicotine avoidance, healthy sleep, healthy weight, and healthy levels of blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure.
