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.

Association of blood pressure lowering with incident dementia or cognitive impairment: A systematic review and meta-analysis

But this one from June 2019 came to the opposite conclusion:

Blood pressure and risk of dementia and its subtypes: A historical cohort study with long-term follow up in 2.6 million people June 2019 

In the short-term, elevated BP is linked to a reduced risk of dementia, possibly due to reverse causation.

And this one:

The One Benefit Of High Blood Pressure? It May Prevent Dementia August 2014

 

Ask your doctor for clarification. Don't do anything stupid like starting to drink Red Bulls.

Researchers conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to explore if there was a connection between blood pressure lowering and dementia or cognitive impairment. They included 12 trials with 92,135 candidates [mean (SD) age was 69 (5.4) years] for the primary outcome measure. A significant link was seen between blood pressure reduction with antihypertensive agents and lower risk of dementia or cognitive impairment vs control, as seen in 7.0% vs 7.5% of patients over a mean trial follow-up of 4.1 years. Findings suggested that there may be a lower risk of dementia or cognitive impairment associated with lower blood pressure.
