Associations Between Relative Morning Blood Pressure, Cerebral Blood Flow, and Memory in Older Adults Treated and Controlled for Hypertension

Abstract: Hypertension, elevated morning blood pressure (BP) surges, and circadian BP variability constitute risk factors for cerebrovascular events. Nevertheless, while evidence indicates that hypertension is associated with cognitive dysfunctions, the link between BP variability and cognitive performance during aging is not clear. The purpose of this study is to determine the interaction between relative morning BP, cerebral blood flow (CBF) levels, and cognitive performance in hypertensive older adults with controlle… Show more

“…These trigger the morning surge in blood pressure, the magnitude of which is reflective of sympathetic activity, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, 90 and is associated with a lower CBF in older adults. 91 Subsequently, blood pressure falls in the mid-morning, particularly in patients on antihypertensive medication, often with a bimodal pattern during the day driven by a postprandial early afternoon fall in blood pressure. 92 This diurnal variation in blood pressure determines the input pressure to the brain, providing greater flow in active periods, but with an increased risk of hypoperfusion during the night.…”
