Recent research highlights the interdependence of the brain and heart, revealing that both organs share common risk factors like high blood pressure and obesity. Cardiovascular health plays a substantial role in predicting cognitive functioning, with conditions such as heart failure and coronary heart disease showing a correlation with cognitive decline and potential dementia. Stroke patients often present with a variety of cognitive impairments, underscoring the impact of cardiovascular disease on brain health, while mental health issues can also affect heart function, creating a detrimental feedback loop between the two organs.
The brain and heart are interdependent organs, sharing common risk factors like high blood pressure and obesity, impacting cognition and overall health.
Research indicates that cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure and coronary heart disease, can lead to cognitive issues and potentially result in dementia.
