Heart Healthy is Brain Healthy: Cognitive Decline and Dementia Risk Reduction through Blood Pressure Control

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a significant predictor of developing more severe neurodegenerative problems and disease. One-third of adults who experience MCI go on to develop Alzheimer s disease and related dementias, contributing to the 6.7 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer s disease and related dementias in our country today. There is strong evidence to suggest that preventive measures focused on maintaining healthy blood pressure, in addition to other interventions, can reduce the onset of MCI and control the risk of more severe issues developing associated with Alzheimer s disease and related dementias. Therefore, this course is designed to educate preventive medicine physicians and general healthcare providers on how to identify risk factors in patients and share effective management strategies associated with MCI, Alzheimer s disease and related dementias, emphasizing hypertension management as a crucial component of these preventive measures to promote overall cognitive well-being.
