Abstract
Effects of blood pressure in people with cognitive disorders
Highlights
The mechanisms that may explain the relationship between high blood pressure and cognitive impairment are not fully understood [1]
The etiology of hypertension in over 90% of cases cannot be attributed to a single, identifiable cause
The mechanisms involved in triggering high blood pressure are such as genetic predisposition, vascular remodeling, endothelial dysfunction, renal water and salt retention, renin angiotensin-aldosterone system dysfunction, sympathetic autonomic hypertension and insulin resistance
Summary
The mechanisms that may explain the relationship between high blood pressure and cognitive impairment are not fully understood [1]. Higher blood pressure is often associated with a higher risk of cognitive decline. In order to prevent the risk of decreased cognitive function associated with hypertension, blood pressure should be monitored even before reaching clinical hypertension.
