Researchers have identified specific areas of the brain that are potentially causally associated with high blood pressure and cognitive impairment. The study used a combination of genetic and imaging data and observational analyses from 33,000 individual records in the UK Biobank to find the damage caused by high blood pressure that contributes to dementia. The team found structural changes were primarily a consequence of a difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. The results provide researchers with promising directions to continue investigations and develop new ways to treat cognitive impairment in people with high blood pressure.
