Cardiovascular Health Level in Older Age may associate with Cognitive Decline

In French population-based cohort study involving 6,626 individuals, an increased number of optimal cardiovascular health metrics were significantly associated with lower risk of incident dementia. 

The metrics are defined by AHA, the American Heart Association, as a 7-item tools such as;

1)nonsmoking,

2)body mass index <25,
3)regular physical activity,
4)eating fish twice a week or more and fruits and vegetables at least 3 times a day,
5)cholesterol <200 mg/dL[untreated],
6)fasting glucose <100 mg/dL[untreated],and
7)blood pressure <120/80 mm Hg[untreated]

These findings may support the promotion of cardiovascular health to prevent development of risk factors associated with dementia.

MCG is the non-invasive test device to detect the cardiovascular disease related to the above metrics.
Check MCG and improve your life style not only for your cardiovascular health but also for dementia.

It is challenge for conventional imaging technology to find abnormality of small vessels

The ischemic heart disease caused by stenosis is called "structural ischemia". It can be found by CAG(Coronary Angiogram) in large vessel.  However, there are other cause of ischemia called "functional ischemia", which is sometimes hard to detect by imaging examination especially for small vessels. Conventional imaging examinations are not designed to detect such disease. Functional ischemia is the condition where heart muscle is less active mainly due to the supply of oxygen is insufficient by stenosis of large vessel. It is told that the blood flow of the coronary artery is said to be about 20% of the whole heart. Therefore, even if there is no stenosis in the coronary artery itself, there are cases where the cardiac function declines when the peripheral blood, inside of heart wall, inside of inner blood vessel and etc., are in poor condition. (Some of them are called "Micro-vessel disease" or "small vessel diseases") Further,
