Can Antihypertensives Reduce the Risk of Dementia? The Answer Suggests the Angiotensin Hypothesis and a Post-Hoc Analysis of an Observational Study
The use of antihypertensives that do not reduce angiotensin II levels, such as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs, i.e., sartans) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs), has been associated with a lower risk of dementia in studies. In the research cited below, the authors aimed to determine whether this effect persists longer than the follow-up period in previous studies.
