'Dorian Gray' to Uncover Link Between CVD and MCI

A major new project, 'Dorian Gray', funded by the European Union (EU) and led by the University of Brescia and partners including the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) – aims to uncover the links between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Around one-third of people living with CVD also have MCI, yet MCI is undiagnosed in an estimated 50-80% of these cases. The association between the two conditions extends beyond merely sharing well-established risk factors and implies that CVD itself may contribute to MCI
