Relationship between Hypertension and Early Indicators of Cognitive Decline

Abstract: In patients with cerebrovascular disease the identification of risk factors might be hypothesized as being associated with the beginning of the process leading, in some of cases, to dementia. The studies described in this paper were designed to verify this hypothesis. The first study showed that specific signs of memory and attention impairment can be identified when hypertensives are compared to normal subjects of the same age. The second study demonstrated that these cognitive deficits are not evenly distrib… Show more

“…The evidence of slight and not evenly distributed signs of cognitive impairment in hypertensive patients (Fioravanti et al 1991) and its relationship with the daily temporal distribution of elevated picks of systolic blood pressure (more than with the level of high blood pressure of picks) (Fioravanti et al 1996) can be considered as the evidence of a progressive development of a cerebrovascular pathology even before gross anatomical signs of abnormality can be identified in the brain tissues. These findings provide support for the proposal to introduce early therapeutic intervention in patients with mild signs of cerebrovasculopathy or even with risk factors for it (Schindler 2005).…”
