Heart's pumping strength tied to future memory loss: Study finds heart function drop could reveal Alzheimer's disease; memory decline may follow

A new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience has found that even minor cardiac dysfunction can predict microscopic tissue damage in brain regions associated with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers tracked 73 patients over 3.5 years and found that reduced heart pumping efficiency preceded measurable brain deterioration and memory decline.
