Prospective associations between cardiac stress, glucose dysregulation and executive cognitive function in Black men : The Sympathetic activity and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Africans study
Objective: Glucose dysregulation is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease development through synaptic dysfunction resulting in cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to study the interplay between impaired glycaemic metabolism (hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance), cardiac stress (cardiac troponin T and N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide) and execut
