New research shows that there may be a link between high blood pressure at night and dementia
for older men.
This may disrupt sleep and increase risk of dementia in the long term.
Researchers are increasingly learning how hypertension or high blood pressure is linked to the risk of developing certain forms of dementia, including Alzheimerâs disease.
This week a new study published in the medical journal Hypertension found that older men who have higher blood pressure readings at night may be at higher risk for certain types of dementia.
âThe link between hypertension and Alzheimerâs disease has been known for years and our study makes a further step by focusing on the circadian pattern of blood pressure and the risk of Alzheimerâs disease,â study author Xiao Tan, PhD, postdoctoral researcher at Uppsala University, told Healthline.
(Updated) William R. Hiatt, MD, a pioneer in the field of clinical vascular medicine and cardiovascular research, died December 8, 2020. He was 70 years old.
The announcement of his death by Colorado Prevention Center (CPC) Clinical Research noted the profound void left by his passing.
“He led by example. He pursued excellence but at the same time was humble and grounded. He embodied qualities rarely found in the same individual: to be reasonable and to place integrity above success,” the announcement reads.
Colleague Marc Bonaca, MD (University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora), told TCTMD Hiatt was an avid outdoorsman who had climbed all of Colorado’s so-called “fourteeners” mountains with an elevation of 14,000 feet at least once.
