Persons with Alzheimer’s disease suffer from ischaemic heart diseases more frequently than others, yet they undergo related procedures and surgery less frequently than persons with no diagnosed AD, according to a nation-wide register-based study. The study involved a total of 28,093 persons; that is every community-dwelling person with a diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease living in Finland on 31 December 2005.
