Does Parkinson disease affect the risk of MI, ischemic stroke, CHF, and all-cause mortality?
disease Parkinson disease stroke P arkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and affects 1% to 3% of people aged >65 years. As life expectancy increases, the prevalence and burden of PD increase worldwide. Although epidemiologic studies have consistently reported high PD-associated mortality, 2 the relationship between PD and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the leading cause of death, remains unclear. CVDs, such as myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and congestive heart failure (CHF), are the most common medical conditions in older people. Although several studies have investigated the relationship between PD and CVD, the results remain controversial. Therefore, we conducted a nationwide, population-based cohort study to evaluate the risk of MI, ischemic stroke, CHF, and all-cause mortality in PD patients.
Park et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Parkinson disease. Parkinson disease was evaluated on Myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, congestive heart failure, and all-cause mortality. The abstract describes the rationale and design of a nationwide cohort study evaluating the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in Parkinson disease, but reports no results.
