Genetic connections between Alzheimer's disease, heart conditions found: Study
NEW DELHI: A new study has uncovered genes that could be related to heart conditions and Alzheimer's disease, suggesting that the two could have similar origins.
Researchers said that evidence increasingly links people having the heart condition with a quicker cognitive decline and a 26 per cent increased risk of dementia, affecting one's memory and thinking, and interfering with daily activities. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia.
Coronary artery disease is a condition in which blood flow to the heart is restricted due to narrowing of blood vessels.
