Deans' stroke musings: Blood Pressure and the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease Is There a Link?

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Blood Pressure and the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease Is There a Link?

It doesn't seem to answer the question. There is still this earlier research.

High blood pressure linked to reduced Alzheimer's risk, meds may be reason

So go ask your doctor for guidance.

Abstract

Alzheimer disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorder, and the incidence is increasing. Many epidemiologic studies have considered the association between blood pressure and Alzheimer disease, yet the relationship is still controversial. The objective of this study was to validate whether or not blood pressure is indeed associated with AD. We compared different prospective studies and ultimately found that it is also a controversial issue. Large prospective double-blinded and placebo-controlled studies conducted with the use of standardized outcome measures in different levels are necessary to assess the association of blood pressure and Alzheimer disease.
