atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart condition that causes an irregular heartbeat in the upper chambers of the heart, affects up to one in three people in their lifetime. Significant complications associated with this condition include ischemic stroke, heartfailure, myocardial infarction, chronic kidneydisease, dementia and mortality.
Hypertension represents a major modifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), heartfailure (HF), stroke, chronic kidneydisease (CKD), and dementia.
Death from heartdisease: 51% reduction in risk. HeartFailure: 69% reduction in risk. Dementia: 64% reduction in risk. KidneyDisease: 42% reduction in risk. Death from any cause: 53% reduction in risk. Cancer deaths: 43% reduction in risk. High Blood Pressure: 37% reduction in risk. Let me be clear.
ABSTRACT Aims The aim of this analysis was to provide data on the overall comorbidity burden, both cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV, in a large real-world heartfailure (HF) population across the ejection fraction (EF). The highest risk was associated with dementia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.45-1.65),
And if it’s not, your risk of: Heartdisease. Heart attack. Kidneydisease. Dementia An early death. For every 20 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure above normal, the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke doubles 3. Of course, there will be exceptions to this figure. But get this.
Resistance exercise also appears to be safe and effective for adults with heartfailure, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), HIV, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, and chronic kidneydisease, among other conditions — for whom the benefits are likely much greater than those for adults without known diseases.

AF is associated with an increased risk of death as well as multiple adverse outcomes, including stroke, cognitive impairment or dementia, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, heartfailure (HF), chronic kidneydisease (CKD), and peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Written by Magnus Nossen, edits by Smith The patient in today's case is an 85-year-old male with a history of COPD and dementia. Due to very severe dementia, it was impossible to obtain a detailed history. He presented to the emergency department for evaluation. Lets us consider two different clinical presentations.
