  • Three conditions that affect the heart are also linked to impaired brain function and increased dementia risk, according to a recent scientific statement from the American Heart Association. The statement is based on the latest scientific research on the relationship between heart and brain health,

The article from MSN discusses three heart conditions that are linked to dementia and declining brain health. Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is highlighted as a condition where irregular heartbeats can lead to reduced blood flow to the brain, potentially causing ministrokes or silent strokes, which contribute to cognitive decline. Heart Failure is another condition mentioned, where the heart's inability to pump blood effectively can result in decreased oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain, increasing the risk of dementia. Lastly, Coronary Artery Disease is noted for its role in reducing blood flow due to plaque buildup in the arteries, which can lead to brain damage over time. The article emphasizes the importance of managing these heart conditions to potentially mitigate the risk of dementia, suggesting lifestyle changes, medication, and regular medical check-ups as preventive measures.
