This review synthesizes longitudinal evidence linking early adulthood vascular risks, particularly elevated systolic blood pressure and smoking, to midlife cognitive decline and brain structural alterations. It highlights critical intervent
Inflammatory blood biomarkers consistently predict long-term recurrent stroke risk up to 10 years post-event, independent of traditional vascular risk factors, underscoring the potential for anti-inflammatory secondary prevention strategies
A longitudinal study of 12,268 participants reveals that women are more susceptible to cognitive decline and dementia when burdened by high blood pressure and the APOE ε4 allele compared to men.
Emerging cohort evidence reveals myocardial infarction significantly elevates late-onset epilepsy risk, with late-onset epilepsy also predicting subsequent myocardial infarction and vascular mortality, underscoring shared systemic vascular
This longitudinal study reveals persistent cognitive, physical, and vascular challenges up to 9 years after minor lacunar or cortical ischemic stroke, emphasizing different risks and recovery patterns by stroke subtype.
