The Effects of Blood Pressure Reduction on Cerebral Perfusion and Cognition in the Elderly Population (MBRACE)
August 25, 2009 updated by: Radboud University Medical Center
Medication Induced Blood Pressure Reduction; Assessment of Cerebral Perfusion and Cognition in Hypertensive Elderly
The purpose of this study is to determine if a reduction in systolic blood pressure induced by anti-hypertensive medication results in changes in cerebral perfusion and cognition in hypertensive elderly.
Hypertensive elderly will be treated using open-label anti-hypertensive medication for 8-12 weeks.
Changes in cerebral perfusion and cognition will be assessed before and after treatment.
