A number most of us ignore on our doctor's printout could decide whether Alzheimer's drugs are safe for you. 468 patients on lecanemab. The biggest predictor of brain swelling wasn't a gene you're stuck with. It was blood pressure, the lower number, above 75. That tripled the risk. High salt levels in the blood pushed it higher. All of those are things you and your doctor can manage before treatment even starts. Genetics aren't.
