## Resource

Dr. Daniel W. Jones, M.D., FAHA — Professor Emeritus and former Dean of the University of Mississippi School of Medicine — joins us to break down the American Heart Association's new high blood pressure guidelines. As chair of the committee that wrote them, he explains why 130/80 is the new target, the surprising link between blood pressure control and lower dementia risk, why an arm cuff beats your smartwatch, and the simple lifestyle changes that make a difference. Informational only — always consult your clinician.
