2026 Canadian Medical Association: Management of brain–heart multimorbidity: a clinical practice guideline

Although brain and heart conditions share overlapping risk factors and commonly co-occur, current cardiac and neurologic clinical guidelines are typically produced within specialty silos. The objective of this guideline from a Canadian Cardiovascular Harmonized National Guideline Endeavour (C-CHANGE) panel is to expand on current cardiovascular guidelines to include evidence from the neurologic and mental health literature, with specific recommendations for providers managing comorbid brain and heart conditions.
