Heart Attacks Release Toxin That Damages Brain Function

Why do heart attacks so frequently trigger severe depression, anxiety, and accelerated dementia? A new study maps the "heart-brain axis," proving that dying cardiac tissue releases a toxic metabolic byproduct called methylglyoxal (MG).

Broken Sleep Rhythms: The Glymphatic Link to Dementia

During non-REM sleep, synchronized chemical waves trigger rhythmic vascular movements known as vasomotion, pumping cerebrospinal fluid through the glymphatic system to flush out toxic amyloid-beta and tau proteins. When these rhythms are fractured by psychiatric, cardiovascular, or age-related stressors, waste clearance stalls.
