This AHA scientific statement discusses the pathogenic mechanisms that link three prevalent cardiac diseases of adults: ➡️Heart failure ➡️Atrial fibrillation ➡️Coronary heart disease These are three disorders that can lead to cognitive impairment and poor brain health.

Thank you for the invitation to speak to the faculty and students. It was wonderful to get to hear about all the diverse neurosciences research going on at @MonashSTM and thank you @AmyBrodtmann for hosting me!
Today we had an amazing overview on biomarkers, risk scores and consortiums from @hugoapariciomd of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and #dementia - its not just good to monitor blood pressure in older age groups but earlier so 40s & 50s - thank you Hugo! 👏🧠

@American_Heart @kejoynt @MitchElkind @bweitten @ErinMichos @paheidenreich @CircAHA @PowellWileyLab @texhern @kardiologykazi - There are deep health inequities among BIPOC communities, targeted and sustained interventions are needed - Aging of the pop. will require new approaches to care, and a sufficient workforce End thread

@American_Heart @kejoynt @MitchElkind @bweitten @ErinMichos @paheidenreich @CircAHA @PowellWileyLab @texhern @kardiologykazi Individual and public health approaches will be critical to avoid or mitigate these forecasts: - Reductions in vascular risk factors can stem this tide of #heartdisease and #stroke - Early life, “primordial” prevention needs to be a focus

@American_Heart @kejoynt @MitchElkind @bweitten @ErinMichos @paheidenreich @CircAHA @PowellWileyLab @texhern @kardiologykazi #Stroke will be a major driver of increased costs, jumping 535% from $67 billion to $423 billion “Forecasting the Economic Burden of CVD and Stroke in the US through 2050” @American_Heart Presidential Advisory https://t.co/dupfBHd0qh

@American_Heart @kejoynt @MitchElkind @bweitten @ErinMichos @paheidenreich @CircAHA @PowellWileyLab @texhern @kardiologykazi Much of this we forecast will be due to changing demographics in the US: an aging population, more older adults living with vascular risk factors and #CVD, greater diversification w/ individuals from historically underserved/disenfranchised populations (with higher burden of CVD)

#Stroke will see the largest increase in prevalence from 2020 to 2050, from 3.9% to 6.4%, with total prevalence number nearly 2x from 10 million to almost 20 million adults “Forecasting the Burden of CVD and Stroke in the US through 2050” AHA Advisory https://t.co/fmc3x5oeVH
