Mary Cushman: Get the Systolic Blood Pressure Down to Less Than 130 to Prevent Dementia
Mary Cushman, University Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair at University of Vermont, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Excellent conversation this morning at WCAX-TV with Amy Finley for “Across the Fence”
We discussed connections of heart and brain health, and lab biomarkers that predict the risk of cognitive impairment.
If you have high blood pressure, get the systolic blood pressure down to less than 130 to prevent dementia.
Watch for the airing in January.”
