ABSTRACT
Recent studies have suggested a link between déjà vu and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While the mechanism for this association is not fully understood, 1 theory suggests that déjà vu may be a result of a disruption in the temporal lobe, which is also responsible for regulating blood pressure and heart rate. Another theory suggests that there may be a shared genetic factor between the 2 conditions, with certain individuals being predisposed to experiencing both. The Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, in particular, has been associated with memory processing, Alzheimer's disease, and an increased risk of CVD. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the metabolism of lipoproteins, including cholesterol and triglycerides, and is also involved in the development of atherosclerosis, which is a key risk factor for CVD. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain how the APOE4 isoform contributes to CVD, including impairing the clearance of lipoproteins, promoting inflammation, and causing endothelial dysfunction. Psychological factors such as stress may also contribute to the development of CVD, and déjà vu may be associated with emotional arousal and stress. Further research is needed to fully understand the link between déjà vu and CVDs and to explore potential treatment options for individuals who experience both conditions.
