What is this video about?

A modern patient with arterial hypertension, obesity and diabetes is not only a classic "cardiological case", but also a person with a high risk of cognitive and psycho-emotional disorders. In this video, Professor Veronika Nikolaevna Shishkova analyzes:

  • Why do metabolic syndrome and chronic stress lead not only to heart attacks, but also to memory loss, anxiety and depression?
  • How does hypertension damage the brain and accelerate the development of dementia?
  • Why do 56% of cardiac patients already have mild cognitive impairment?
  • How has Mexidol demonstrated its effectiveness in improving cognitive function and reducing anxiety?

Why is this important?

For doctors:

  • Learn how to identify cognitive impairment in patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease.
  • Understand why standard antihypertensive therapy is not enough.
  • You will see research data on the neuroprotective effect of the drug Mexidol.

Key findings:

  • Hypertension is a risk factor for dementia.
  • 56% of cardiac patients in the study had cognitive impairment, 15% had signs of dementia.
  • How the drug Mexidol, when prescribed consistently, improves memory, reduces anxiety and improves quality of life.

Who is this video for?

  • Cardiologists, therapists, neurologists - how to work with "concomitant" cognitive impairments.
  • Anyone interested in the connection between the heart, blood vessels and brain.

Watch to understand: why hypertension treatment is not only about taking “blood pressure” pills, but also about taking care of your brain!
