Send us Fan MailHeidi Linhoff, a registered nurse, spoke with Liz Collin about how young patients assault hospital staff without consequences. Heidi Linhoff, a registered nurse at Fairview Riverside Children's Emergency Department in Minneapolis, joined Liz Collin on her podcast. Linhoff spoke about some of the harrowing stories of young patients assaulting nurses and hospital staff without consequences. She explained how some staff members have had their jobs ended due to the injuries they suffered—and how others have chosen to leave out of fear.She detailed stories of nurses and other staff suffering concussions, broken bones, and taking punches from patients. “The injuries have forced a lot of people to leave because they're scared,” she said. “And I was literally dumbfounded that we do nothing, that it seems to be acceptable to, you know, to assault a healthcare worker.”Support the show

At 25, Jace Yawnick was building a career in health and wellness sales, chasing growth, status, and the usual young adult fantasy of getting somewhere fast. Then his body stopped cooperating. Fatigue turned into chemotherapy. The diagnosis was primary mediastinal B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma, and the rest of his life split into before and after. Now in remission, he talks about cancer the way people actually live it, not the way nonprofits package it. He gets into survivorship, mental health, young adult isolation, and the deadening absurdity of prior authorization. One of the sharpest parts of the conversation lands on a simple American insult disguised as policy: treatment innovation means very little when insurance can still deny the scan, the drug, or the next step. Jace has seen that firsthand, including during routine monitoring after active treatment. This episode tracks what happens when a young cancer patient becomes a public voice and refuses to play mascot. It covers oncology, insurance, remission, advocacy, and the long mental hangover that follows survival. It also names the part too many institutions dodge: the system works great right up until it doesn't, and when it fails, patients get handed the bill, the panic, and a camera if they want anyone to care.

Patient financing has become increasingly popular in medical aesthetics, especially during economic slowdowns and seasonal dips in demand. The problem is that many practices treat financing as a solution to slow sales when it should be treated as a financial tool.  In this episode, I talk about where financing fits into a healthy med spa growth strategy, when it makes sense to offer financing options, and how to avoid the margin erosion that often comes with poorly structured financing programs.  Financing Should Support Value—Not Replace It  One of the biggest misconceptions I see is the belief that financing creates demand. However, offering payment plans won't solve the underlying problem of a potential patient misunderstanding the value of or not seeing the value in a treatment.  Financing works best when the value proposition is already clear and the patient simply needs more flexibility around affordability. When teams lead with financing too early, they often skip the more important conversation around outcomes, results, and treatment benefits. Over time, that can weaken pricing power and train patients to focus on monthly payments instead of value.  The Right Way to Offer Financing in Your Med Spa  Financing can be a useful tool when it's applied selectively and supported by clear policies.  • Reserve financing options for high-ticket services with healthy margins • Set minimum spend thresholds before financing becomes available • Use financing for treatments like body contouring, laser packages, hair restoration, skin tightening, and surgery financing • Avoid financing low-ticket services or already discounted treatments • Understand financing fees and how they impact practice margins • Train staff to sell value first and financing second • Monitor financing usage as part of regular executive financial reviews  The goal is to use financing to accelerate a demand that already exists—not to compensate for weak sales strategy or pricing issues.  Protecting Margins While Improving Affordability  Every financing option comes with a cost. Depending on the provider, financing fees can significantly reduce profitability, especially on treatments with tighter margins.  Before implementing a financing policy, understand exactly how those fees affect cash flow, treatment profitability, and overall financial performance. If financing is reducing margins more than it's increasing revenue, it's working against the business.  As Your Practice Grows, Financing Offers Require Clear Boundaries  The most successful practices use financing selectively. They understand which services can support financing costs, train their teams consistently, and monitor financing usage as part of regular financial reviews.   When financing is aligned with profitability goals, it can improve affordability and support growth. When it becomes the default answer to every price objection, it often creates more financial and operational challenges than it solves.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.   Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/  Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

A growing concern among auditors, coders, and compliance professionals is the increasing reliance on template driven documentation. While electronic health records have improved efficiency, copied, carried-forward, and pre-populated information can create significant compliance risks when it does not accurately reflect the patient’s current encounter. Auditors frequently identify contradictory statements, outdated histories, normal findings that conflict with the assessment and plan, and documentation that appears disconnected from the services actually provided. Simply completing documentation fields does not create credible documentation. On this episode of the CodeCast Podcast, Terry discusses why E/M documentation is not a checklist, the compliance risks associated with template generated notes, and practical strategies to ensure your documentation accurately tells the patient’s story and supports the care delivered.

Discover the crucial role of fiber in improving health and reducing inflammation! In this episode of the MMOA podcast, Ellen Csepe discusses how fiber can significantly impact your patients' well-being and lower their risk of chronic diseases. Key takeaways: * Fiber can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 44% with just a 10-gram increase in daily intake. * High fiber diets help decrease inflammation, which is linked to various chronic diseases. * Patients with obesity, diabetes, and chronic conditions see the most significant benefits from increased fiber. * Recommended daily fiber intake is 25 grams for women and 35 grams for men, but many struggle to meet these goals. * Incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains can enhance gut health and diversity.

Benzodiazepine tapering: Evidence limitations and research recommendations Journal of Addiction Medicine  This systematic review of publications (2000-2023) concerning tapering benzodiazepines (BZDs) was used to inform the Joint Clinical Practice Guideline on Benzodiazepine Tapering, published in 2025. Rates of taper were often faster than recommended, such as 25%-50% reduction in the initial 1-2 weeks. There was little information on long-term outcomes such as protracted withdrawal and quality of life, and some studies had high rates of attrition. Patients were often switched from short- to long-acting BZDs; however, there are no data on the effect on withdrawal severity or outcomes. There is little information about adverse events such as mortality and suicidality, despite insurance data associating discontinuing BZDs and mortality. The authors conclude the evidence base for tapering BZDs is deficient and list 10 areas for future research.    Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

The Central Role of Cardiac MRI in the Management of Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy Patients   Guest: Gosia Wamil, M.D., Ph.D. Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.   Cardiac MRI is now central to heart failure care, moving beyond imaging to guide diagnosis and treatment. It distinguishes disease causes, identifies fibrosis and scar, and uncovers specific conditions in both HFrEF and HFpEF. By providing prognostic markers, it helps tailor therapies and improve outcomes—delivering the right treatment at the right time. In this episode of "Interviews With the Experts," Dr. Malcolm Bell interviews Dr. Gosia Wamil from Mayo Clinic London practice on the role of cardiac MRI in practice.   Topics Discussed: When does CMR change the management decision? CMR findings Which CMR biomarkers truly predict outcomes—and how should clinicians act on them? From echo-first to CMR-led pathways: what should every HF service implement now?   Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

Patient safety is often associated with what happens inside the exam room, operating room, or hospital bedside. But what if one of the greatest threats to patient safety occurs long before a patient ever receives care?In this thought-provoking episode of All-Access Pass, Elizabeth Woodcock sits down with Dr. Victor Hassid, Associate Vice President of Access Services and Professor of Plastic Surgery at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, to discuss his groundbreaking JAMA article, Patient Safety Begins with Access. Together, they explore the powerful argument that delays, barriers, and failures in patient access should be viewed not simply as operational challenges, but as patient safety events. Dr. Hassid shares how fragmented referral processes, scheduling barriers, authorization delays, and care coordination failures can directly impact diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. The conversation also examines the concepts of visibility, accountability, high reliability organizations, and the critical role of data in identifying and preventing access-related harm.Tune in to hear discussions on patient safety, access-related harm, high reliability principles, referral and scheduling barriers, access performance metrics, patient advocacy, health equity, and the future of treating access as a core component of quality and safety in healthcare.

Most dentists believe they need more new patients, but the real problem may be how well they are using the patients, providers, and chair time they already have. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Ariel Siegel, ACT Dental coach, to explain why active patient count, pre-appointment percentage, capacity utilization, and annual patient value matter before investing in new patient growth. Learn how to identify whether your practice has a patient problem or a utilization problem, and how to start improving schedule efficiency with the data you already have. To grow more predictably with the patients already in your practice, listen to Episode 1060 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Practices should evaluate utilization of current patients and provider capacity before pursuing more new patients.New patients can add pressure because phone calls, relationship building, and appointments require more time and energy.A healthy active patient count is often around 1,200 to 1,500 patients per provider.Unscheduled active patients and low pre-appointment rates reveal opportunities within the existing patient base.Chair time utilization around 90% to 95% creates productive schedules while leaving some flexibility.Annual patient value helps determine whether a practice needs more patients or better production per patient.Capacity tracking should be reviewed consistently so each provider column has accountability.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Intro01:50 Meet Ariel Siegel02:14 More Patients Myth04:18 Active Patient Benchmarks08:07 When Utilization Fails10:33 Redefining Growth11:56 Capacity Utilization Targets14:36 Action Plan With APV18:06 Vision And Wrap Up18:33 Final GoodbyeGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

In Episode 121, we turn our focus to a critical issue in healthcare: patient aggression and its impact on worker well‑being.We're joined by Dr. Lisa Kath, Associate Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University, to discuss new research on how healthcare workers are affected not just by direct exposure to aggressive patient behavior, but also by witnessing and hearing about it.Drawing on data from pediatric healthcare settings, this conversation highlights how repeated exposure to patient aggression shapes stress, burnout, and turnover—and why the effects extend beyond the individual directly involved.We discuss:* Why frequency of exposure, not just extreme incidents, drives psychological harm * The surprising impact of witnessing or hearing about aggression, and how it increases stress and turnover intentions * Why nurses face higher risk due to constant bedside exposure * How workplace context (e.g., ER and behavioral health units) shapes exposure levels* What these experiences signal about organizational support and safety culture* Practical solutions, including peer support programs and post‑incident recovery strategiesYou can find Dr. Kath here: https://psychology.sdsu.edu/people/lisa-kath/You can read the paper here: https://www.pediatricnursing.org/article/S0882-5963(26)00173-9/fulltext This is a public episode.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Episode Introduction Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, author, keynote speaker, and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, hosts this solo episode focused on cardiovascular and general health prevention. Drawing on a recent paper from the University of Chicago, Dr. Bishop explores how primary care physicians can best prioritize preventative interventions to save the most lives. The episode aims to help patients and their loved ones understand which preventative strategies deliver the greatest health benefits. Key Takeaways: A University of Chicago study identified 42 different preventative interventions and ranked them by their ability to reduce mortality and morbidity, highlighting the challenge of covering all of them in a single medical consultation. Pre-exposure prevention for HIV in high-risk individuals ranks as the single most impactful intervention for gaining future life-years, yet it remains significantly underused in primary care settings. Breast cancer reduction medication (anti-estrogen and anti-aromatase drugs) for high-risk individuals ranks second in preventative value, a fact that surprises many, including Dr. Bishop himself. Pre-exposure prevention counseling for intravenous drug use ranks third, requiring primary care physicians to engage in sensitive but critically important conversations. Statin therapy for primary prevention ranks fourth overall and is considered underappreciated and underused, despite strong evidence supporting its benefits. Alcohol counseling and weight loss/dietician referral round out the top six patient-centered interventions, reflecting the ongoing importance of lifestyle modification. When ranked by efficient use of doctor's time rather than pure patient benefit, the list shifts slightly, with hepatitis B screening and hypertension screening entering the top six. For a practical real-world example, a 65-year-old overweight woman would be prioritized for statins, weight loss counseling (potentially including GLP-1 medications), and colorectal cancer screening, followed by reassessment. Not all preventative screenings are equally valuable — cervical screening ranks lower than commonly assumed, while breast cancer risk-reduction medication ranks far higher than most patients or doctors expect. Patients are encouraged to arrive at medical appointments informed and prepared, knowing their personal risk factors so they can make the most of limited consultation time.

Here's a harsh truth that is vital for you to understand if you don't already: You are already losing patients to AI. Patients are already using ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other tools to get diagnoses, treatment suggestions, exercise programs, and answers to health questions rather than going to (or returning) to your clinic. And those answers are getting better every month. So what can you do today that will make patients continue choosing you over just asking AI? And before you leave this page, make sure you scroll down for this episode's free resource… It will position your practice so AI is most likely to recommend you when people in your area are looking for help with things you treat. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why AI is now your competitor, not just a tool Which healthcare services (and prospective patients) are most vulnerable to AI competition How to use human connection as your greatest differentiator How community-building creates long-term competitive advantages, and minimizes loss of patients to AI platforms Ways to future-proof your practice as technology rapidly evolves Practical steps you can take today to stay ahead USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Cash-Based Practice Mastermind

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found@drawincustomers.com we are locally unwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie, and today we're welcoming, preparing to learn from Sahara and Jonathan of the Hydrate IV bar. So, Sahara, Jonathan, how are you guys doing today? Jonathan Chizever [00:01:06]: Wonderful. Excited to be here. James Kademan [00:01:08]: Yeah. Shahayra Majumder [00:01:08]: Woot, woot. James Kademan [00:01:09]: Let's talk about Hydrate IV bar. I don't know what in the world an IV bar is, and I bet a lot of people don't either. So let's just start with what is an IV bar? Jonathan Chizever [00:01:18]: Happy to tell them you want to go or want me to go? Shahayra Majumder [00:01:20]: Um, yeah, I'll kick it off if you want to add in, if there's anything that I miss. But have you ever had an IV before? James Kademan [00:01:28]: I had. Yes. I had a saline IV thing when I had a. A gut thing, a stress gut thing Shahayra Majumder [00:01:35]: way back when, probably in the hospital. James Kademan [00:01:37]: Yeah. Yeah. Not a fan. Shahayra Majumder [00:01:39]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:41]: Not a fan of being in the hospital. Shahayra Majumder [00:01:42]: Yeah, right. Yeah, I. A lot of people are used to thinking about IVs being something that you get in the hospital or at urgent care in an emerg situation. But an IV bar actually takes those services outside of an emergency situation and lets you be a little more proactive about rapidly rehydrating your body. James Kademan [00:02:04]: All right. Shahayra Majumder [00:02:05]: For your different health and wellness goals. There's lots that we can do with supplementing things that you might be deficient in or if you're just feeling certain ailments that could be improved with additional vitamin supplements, meditation, or hydration. That's usually why people come to an IV bar. For me, it's been more of a proactive thing. I realized as I started doing IVs on a regular basis, I felt more energy. I was getting sick less. I didn't really let anything get me down as much. Like during cold and flu season. Shahayra Majumder [00:02:49]: Yeah. Anything that you would add to that, Jonathan Chizever [00:02:52]: I think that sums it up. Great. Yeah. James Kademan [00:02:54]: All right. How do you get in the IV bar business? Shahayra Majumder [00:02:58]: You take that one. Jonathan Chizever [00:03:01]: So we both, in our travels, neither of us are from Madison. I've been here 10 years. Sahara's been here seven. And we've both, in our travels and living other places, seen this as a more established concept in other places. And, you know, in the Midwest, whether it's fashion trends or wellness modalities, we're generally the last to get just about everything. And so here we are. And so, you know, IVs have saved us in numerous occasions from feeling bad, and really, until we got in the business, didn't yet understand how much it can make you feel good in a consistent and proactive sense. But we just saw this as a market that makes so much sense for it, because, you know, what people traditionally associate it with is hangovers, at least in the selective sense, which it is phenomenal for, I've heard, at least. Jonathan Chizever [00:03:54]: But. But beyond that, you know, like, the founder of our brand, she got into this. She was a Broncos cheerleader, and she noticed all the guys in the team are doing these IVs routinely, all the time. And that was part of her origin story of getting into this. And so athletes love it, and athletes have been ahead of the curve and, you know, taking advantage of this. So for athletics and drinking Madison, we have a lot of bubbles, and turns out. James Kademan [00:04:24]: Yeah, yeah. Jonathan Chizever [00:04:25]: So. And then beyond that, we also have a very vibrant wellness scene. You know, we have a population that likes to take care of themselves. And, I mean, in so many ways, it made sense, but it was something that we saw being severely underserved. So it wasn't like we wanted to start a business. And we're like, what business do we do? It was like we noticed that there was a gap in the availability of these types of services in a place that it makes so much sense to have them. And the rest kind of naturally came from there. James Kademan [00:04:55]: Right on. So did you hunt down a franchise, or did you get introduced to the franchise? And you're like, yes, that's what we want. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:03]: Little column A, little column B. I did interview, like, every franchise under the sun doing IV stuff. James Kademan [00:05:09]: All in the IV stuff. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:10]: Yes. James Kademan [00:05:11]: Okay, how many are we talking here? Shahayra Majumder [00:05:12]: Oh, my God. I think I Started talking to folks in September of 2024, and then we signed our franchise agreement February of 25. So, yeah, I mean, that gives you a little gauge. It took me months and months of. James Kademan [00:05:27]: So just talking like, I don't know how many franchise I've seen. Are we talking five? We talking 50? Jonathan Chizever [00:05:32]: Oh, no, I'd say a dozen and a half maybe. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:35]: Yeah, maybe closer to like the 20 or 30. Jonathan Chizever [00:05:37]: Wow. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:39]: Yeah, franchise franchises. And there are a few that dominate the market. There are a few that are bigger. But what's interesting is this industry, it's very highly regulated, but the regulations are different state to state. So if you know a little bit about franchising, you know that franchises have to be registered in every single state. And some states are harder to get registered in. And so I talked to a lot of the folks that I was able to get their franchisees on the phone and get honest opinions about the kind of support they're receiving, how the market has received them. I particularly talk to folks in the Midwest or familiar with the Midwest because, you know, the market in the Midwest is not going to be what it is in, you know, Nashville, Tennessee, for example, where you're getting a lot more tourism and. James Kademan [00:06:38]: Yeah, sober me up. Sober me up. ...

HEALTH NEWS   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Hirosaki University (Japan), June 10 2026 (News-Medical) Previous research has uncovered associations between diets higher in vitamin C and lower risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. However, few studies have looked directly at vitamin C levels in blood plasma and potential associations with brain structure and connectivity within brain networks. To help fill that gap, Nagaya and colleagues analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and plasma vitamin C levels of 2,044 adults over the age of 64. Specifically, they measured the volume of each participant's gray and white brain matter (accounting for individual differences in total brain volume between participants). They also evaluated connectivity within the default mode network, which is associated with several cognitive functions, such as attention and autobiographical memory. After statistically accounting for other factors the researchers found that participants with lower plasma vitamin C levels tended to have lower gray matter volume, as well as lower connectivity within the default mode network. These findings suggest the possibility that optimal levels of vitamin C in blood plasma could potentially support cognitive function and counteract cognitive decline. However, the findings do not confirm any such cause-effect relationship between vitamin C levels and brain health.   Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise University of Exeter (UK), June 11 2026 (Natural News) Researchers recruited 34 healthy, recreationally active young men and assigned them to receive either a placebo, a low-dose tart cherry concentrate, or a high-dose tart cherry supplement, according to the study report. Participants consumed their assigned supplement for seven days before completing a muscle-damaging workout and continued supplementation for three days afterward, for a total intervention of 10 days. The study found that tart cherry supplementation significantly altered the muscle's protein profile following exercise-induced damage. Changes were observed in proteins involved in muscle structure, contraction, cellular repair processes, and immune-cell activity within muscle tissue. These findings suggest that tart cherry polyphenols may influence the way muscles respond to and recover from the stress of exercise. Researchers also detected significant increases in hippuric acid, a compound produced when gut microbes break down polyphenols from tart cherries and other plant foods. Participants with higher levels of hippuric acid tended to maintain better muscle function following exercise-induced damage.   Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Washington University in St. Louis, June 11 2026 (Medical Xpress) After analyzing hundreds of biological, psychological, social and environmental factors related to children's development, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that a family's financial situation and the resources and opportunities in a child's neighborhood had the strongest connection to brain development. Socioeconomic factors accounted for about 16% of the variability in measures of children's brain function—far more than IQ, parenting style and health history.  As part of the study, the researchers analyzed brain scans from nearly 12,000 children ages 9 to 10 to see how a child's environment, health and regular activities are related to brain development. Of the hundreds of factors examined, the team found that the socioeconomic status of a child's family had the strongest relationship with that child's brain structure and function. Further, the parts of the brain that reflect socioeconomic factors were the same areas most sensitive to sleep and stress, suggesting that socioeconomic disadvantage affects the brain indirectly through disrupted sleep and chronic stress. Of the top 40 variables linked to brain function, 37 were socioeconomic, and of the top 40 tied to structure, 35 were socioeconomic. These included the social and economic resources in the child's neighborhood, akin to the overall wealth of an area. Strong influences included family income, homeownership, poverty rates and access to transportation. The remaining top variables were related to sleep, screen time and stress.   Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Kings College London, June 11 2026 (Eurekalert) People who follow a short-term low-calorie diet may have reduced markers of inflammation associated with gum disease. A new study by King's College London highlights how lifestyle modifications could be important alongside plaque control in managing gum disease. The research included 28 patients from across hospitals in Spain, split into two groups – those who followed a five-day restrictive diet, versus a control group who continued their usual diet. Patients who fasted ate 1,100 calories for two days, then 750 calories for three days. The sixth day gently introduced more calories with soft foods – then their diets returned to normal by the seventh day. This was repeated three times in six months, with patients reporting the diet easy to stick to. After six months, samples were analysed from the patients' blood and gingival crevicular fluid – liquid that comes from the small space between your tooth and gum, which helps gums stay healthy and fight germs. Those who fasted had reduced markers of inflammation in samples from blood and gum tissue compared to those whose diets stayed the same, including lower levels of C-reactive protein, a general indicator of inflammation around the body. The fasting group also had reduced molecules linked to inflammation specifically in the gums, compared to controls.   Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease Michigan Technological University, Jun 10 2026 (News-Medical) Numerous types of cardiovascular disease and CVD risk factors were linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, with low blood pressure showing the strongest connection, according to a new analysis published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association What are the key findings of the analysis? Adults with hypotension (low blood pressure) were about three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's and nearly twice as likely in the All of Us study when compared to individuals who did not have low blood pressure. Across both datasets, adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) were 1.6 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease, compared to people without hypertension. Participants who had a previous stroke had a 1.5 times higher risk for Alzheimer's disease in the UK Biobank and 1.85 times in All of Us. Those with irregular heartbeat (or atrial fibrillation, also called AFib) were about 1.5 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease compared to those without AFib.
