Alzheimer's has one of the biggest research funds of any disease out there, and for good reason. It affects many, and is devastating not only for the people suffering from it, but those who love them. Now, scientists are finding evidence that it could be spread through a simple blood transfusion. Researchers have suspected for a long time that more than genetic factors are at play.

In a new study published in Nature Mental Health, researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital have discovered potential genetic links between coronary artery disease, major depression, and cardiomyopathy — a condition that affects the heart muscle. The findings suggest that these links are mediated by inflammatory pathways and that medications used for coronary artery disease and depression might, together, help reduce inflammation and the risk of developing cardiomyopathy.
