This presentation (1:12:00 minutes) by Mark A. Supiano discusses how cognitive impairment relates to the heart. By the end of this presentation, learners should be able to: (1) understand the cognitive impairment continuum and be able to define mild cognitive impairment and dementia; (2) recognize that the majority of Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias have a vascular contribution -- Vascular Cognitive Impairment; and (3) become familiar with modifiable approaches to prevent cognitive impairment, including results from the SPRINT-MIND study. Slides are available to download. Included in this presentation is a patient case given by Rachel Brenner. Part of the Age-Friendly ECHO series.
