  1. Repurposing antihypertensive drugs for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease: a Mendelian randomization study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. International journal of epidemiology 2020-08-01 Genetics

    Mendelian randomization suggests that lowering systolic blood pressure via the protein targets of antihypertensive drugs is unlikely to affect the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

  2. Does use of antihypertensive drugs affect the incidence or progression of dementia? A systematic review

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. The American journal of geriatric pharmacotherapy 2009-10-01 Drug development

    Sixty-five potentially relevant articles were identified from the 536 publications retrieved by the literature search.

  3. Prevention of dementia by antihypertensive drugs: how AT1-receptor-blockers and dihydropyridines better prevent dementia in hypertensive patients than thiazides and ACE-inhibitors

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Expert review of neurotherapeutics 2009-09-01 Drug development

    Our review of cohort studies and clinical trials evaluating antihypertensive drugs in the prevention of cognition decline and all dementia in patients with hypertension indicates that two antihypertensive drug classes have greater protective effects, independent of blood pressure decrease: dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers as shown in the Syst-Eur trial and angiotensin-AT1 receptor blockers as found in the MOSES and ONTARGET trials.

  4. Duration of antihypertensive drug use and risk of dementia: A prospective cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Neurology 2009-02-18 Drug development

    Antihypertensive drug use was associated with 8% risk reduction of dementia per year of use for persons < or =75 years.
