High blood pressure or hypertension is not only trigger cardiovascular disease, also cause disturbances of thinking and learning. In fact, can suffer memory lost.
Results of study published in the Journal of Neurology Achieves disclose, high blood pressure related to one of two types of damage to power remember the light. This condition can give a sign about the lost memories, but not the type that is very closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
In the study mentioned, the person who damaged light power can remember experiencing language difficulties, memory, attention or the other mental functions are important enough to attract the attention of others. Condition was detected in the examination. One type is the memory, and not other types.
However, the decline in retention is not simply the life . The person concerned does not show other symptoms of lost memories. Parents of high blood fell ill in the study that often have a form of mild memory decline that could be the beginning of blood vessel disruption.
Form the second most common is loss of retention after the attack Alzheimer. Interference often associated with stroke. Nah, cause high blood pressure increase the risk of stroke.
“It seems high blood pressure leads to a decrease in retention is not the actual decline in memory,but the decline in other memory functions, especially language skills and ability to perform similar tasks,” said a researcher from Columbia University Medical Center in New York, Dr. Christiane Reitz , told Reuters.
Study involving 918 people in New York the average age of 76 years and experiencing mild cognitive decline when they entered the study in 1992 through 1994. They were given physical and cognitive tests when they start the study, and checked back about every 18 months. Monitored during the development of their average 4.5 years.
During that time, 334 of them experienced a decrease in retention. Those who suffer high blood pressure have a risk 40 percent higher experience mild cognitive decline. In addition, 70 percent more likely to experience the form of “nonamnestik”-which does not involve interference greater retention.
“All these findings indicate that the treatment and prevention of high blood pressure may have an important impact in reducing the risk of a decrease in retention,” said the researchers.
Another study of a representative national sample of 4,646 adults, shows that as many as three-quarters of those who have examined and conditions such as coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes or other diseases that increase the risk of heart disease complications, the problem also has high blood pressure. In fact, there are a number of other evidence that indicates there is a close relationship between the health system and the heart blood vessel with brain health.
“The study we do show that the blood vessel system of good will also have a good brain,” says professor of psychiatry and neurology University of Pittsburg, Oscar Lopez MD, as quoted www.sciencedaily.com.
That is why the person with Alzheimer’s Disease is very important to do the detection and aggressive treatment is also a focus on hypertension and prevention of disease.
This is because hypertension causes blood flow to the brain in adults with Alzheimer’s Disease is reduced.
“Although hypertension is not the cause of Alzheimer’s Disease, our study shows that it makes the brain vulnerable to the effects of interference,” demolished the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, Cyrus Raji MD.
