New research shows that having a heart attack eventually leads to faster mental decline that is the equivalent of adding 6 years to the age of the brain.
May 31, 2023 – and specifically examined the impact of heart attack on the normal process of brain aging. It’s normal for people’s thinking speed, memory, and ability to concentrate to worsen as they age – a process that medical professionals call age-related cognitive decline.

But all three of the measures were impacted in the years following the heart attack, and a person’s race and gender also played a role in the severity of the decline. The researchers analyzed data for 30,465 adults who had no history of heart attack, stroke, or dementia. The average age of people in the study was 64, 56% of the people were women, and 29% of the people were Black. Over the course of the study period, 1,033 people had a heart attack.
