People born with certain gene more likely to suffer cognitive decline after heart surgery

Thanks, that's an interesting article. It has been known for some time that if you have a certain gene (APOE4) you will likely be more susceptible to getting Alzheimer's dementia. For example: If you suffer a concussion or if you are obese, have diabetes, or have an operation, those things can turn the Alzheimer's gene on. All the more reason to be careful about everything we do.
