Heart disease and diabetes can lead to …

According to new research, diseases of the cardiovascular system affect brain function and are associated with an increased risk of dementia and cognitive impairment.
A new study at the Wake Forest Medical Center in the United States shows that patients with type 2 diabetes and heart and blood vessel disorders are at an increased risk of cognitive impairment.
The data obtained show that, as with diseases of the cardiovascular system, an important role in the occurrence of cognitive impairment is played by the pathological condition of the heart and blood vessels, which is manifested in clinical patients. 
In the past, many researchers tried to study the relationship between type 2 diabetes and an increased risk of dementia, the development of clinical dementia. According to research results, the findings show that heart disease and vascular disease in the early stages cause brain disease.
Studies show that vascular calcification, a sign of type 2 diabetes, is a major factor that is ultimately a cognitive impairment in patients with diabetes. Researchers have conducted a large number of physiological and cognitive tests over the years to test various cognitive mechanisms such as memory, information processing speed, executive functions, and other cognitive skills. 

Data analysis showed that patients with cardiovascular disease have an increased risk of cognitive dysfunction.
According to the researchers, heart and blood vessel diseases often cause cognitive impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes. Researchers attribute this to the fact that normal cognitive functions of the brain need a steady, stable supply of blood, and in cases of a combination of type 2 diabetes and heart and blood vessel diseases, the blood supply is unstable, which affects the patient’s long-term cognitive functions. Researchers emphasize that it would be correct if doctors treating patients with diabetes took into account risk factors for heart and blood vessel diseases, and this is because even the main types of cardiovascular diseases in these patients can affect long-term cognitive functions.
