Description
Siriwardhana and co-authors present a 2024 study on heart and brain vessel risk after an Alzheimer's diagnosis in Hawaii. The two disease families share many risk factors and weigh heavily on the old. Hawaii's mix of ethnic groups shows sharp health gaps, with Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders at high risk. The team used nine years of Hawaii Medicare records.
They tracked patients who developed heart failure, ischemic disease, rhythm faults, heart attack, or stroke after diagnosis. Matched controls without the disease set the baseline. Risk ran higher for heart attack, heart failure, and ischemic disease in the Alzheimer's group. Income level also shaped outcomes. The authors split results by race to expose the gaps.
