The heart-brain axis: a single network – introducing/decoding the Dorian Gray Project
With Riccardo Proietti, University of Liverpool, Liverpool - UK and Matthias Endres, German Heart Centre Berlin, Berlin - Germany.
The heart and brain communicate constantly, influencing everything from emotions to disease progression. Yet, medicine has often treated them as separate systems. In this episode, we challenge that paradigm by exploring the heart-brain axis as a unified network—one that holds the key to understanding conditions like heart failure, takotsubo syndrome, stroke-heart syndrome, and dementia.
We'll also introduce the Dorian Gray Project, an ambitious European research effort that seeks to turn this dialogue into clinical practice. How can AI, biomarkers, and digital health tools help us monitor this interaction? What role physical exercise plays in restoring the communication into this network? And how might this project change the way we treat patients?
Tune in to discover how science is bridging the gap between these two vital organs—and what it means for the future of medicine.
