Discover the latest findings from our research examining the link between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. Using the rich data of the TBI Model Systems database, we uncover important insights into the prevalence of CVD and related post-TBI mortality.

Join us at the ACRM symposium to explore the implications of our findings and their potential impact on patient care.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain how poor cardiovascular health can influence brain health.
• Describe the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on cardiovascular disease and mortality.
• Discuss ways to evaluate and improve cardiovascular health.
• Explain how poor cardiovascular health can influence brain health.
