 ASH: Blood Pressure Variability Tied to Elderly Cognitive Dysfunction - CME Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today
These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary as they have not yet been reviewed and published in a peer-reviewed publication.
Systolic blood pressure swings of 22.9 to 33.3 mm Hg were associated with a significant risk of cognitive dysfunction compared with patients whose blood pressure only varied by 12.1 to 19.5 mm Hg over 24 hours (P=0.004), said Kenichi Sakakura, M.D., of the Public Kiwa Clinic in Kumano, Mie, Japan.
At a press conference at the American Society of Hypertension meeting here, Dr. Sakakura said the relationship between blood pressure variability and cognitive function suggests that clinicians should consider aggressive management of blood pressure even in elderly patients.

The researchers looked at blood pressure and cognitive function in 101 Japanese outpatients receiving treatment for chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, chronic gastritis and osteoporosis.
"Although clinicians may be reluctant to treat older patients aggressively, perhaps because of perceived lower benefits or possible increased risk of medication side effects, these findings show the potential value of interventions," said Kenichi Sakakura of the Public Kiwa Clinic in Kumano, Mie, Japan.
The goal of the study was to evaluate the association between pulse pressure and cognitive function in the very elderly, specifically those over 80 years old.

“Although clinicians may be reluctant to treat older patients aggressively, perhaps because of perceived lower benefits or possible increased risk of medication side effects, these findings show the potential value of interventions,” said Kenichi Sakakura, M.D. of the Public Kiwa Clinic in Kumano, Mie, Japan.
