A Study of Heart Failure Patients and their Blood Pressure Trends Preceding Dementia Diagnosis
Author(s): Wilson CK, Pangle AK, Wei JY and Azhar G*
Introduction: Blood pressure and perfusion of the brain are central components of neurological health that are often influenced by Heart Failure. However, the connection between blood pressure and the development of dementia is not clearly understood. Aim of the study: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess blood pressure trends in older heart failure patients and evaluate whether they developed dementia over the course of a five-year period. Methods: This retrospective case-control study analyzed blood pressure changes preceding the diagnosis of dementia in patients over the age-of-60. Blood pressures were obtained from the date of dementia diagnosis, and then one-year and five years before diagnosis. Study “controls” were age-matched patients without dementia, using the mean-age-of dementia.. View more»
