Glymphatic homeostasis in heart failure- more in but not out?
Manage episode 477351455 series 3559181
Welcome to the 26th episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications.
This episode features a discussion with first author Dr Marios Kritsilis and senior author Associate Professor Iben Lundgaard of the Brain article entitled: Loss of glymphatic homeostasis in heart failure
This academic duo from Lund University discuss their fascinating findings exploring glymphatic homeostasis in a mouse model of heart failure. Counter-intuitively, there may be more influx but not efflux associated with reduced ejection fraction. This has interesting implications on heart failure associated cognitive changes and risk of developing dementia.
