Pre-Stroke Cardiovascular Risk Linked to Faster Cognitive Decline and Higher Dementia Risk After Stroke
By
Edited by Vineeta Teotia
Summary
A pooled analysis of over 1,800 older adults (median age 75) from four US cohort studies found that elevated pre-stroke risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is linked to worse cognitive outcomes in the decade following a stroke. This includes faster global cognitive decline and an increased risk for dementia. The study followed participants between 1971 and 2019, with cognitive tests conducted in person or by telephone.
