- The study examined blood pressure (BP) patterns in 106 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, revealing a high prevalence of nighttime systolic hypertension and daytime diastolic hypotension.
- It found that cognitive performance was notably linked to daytime diastolic BP, with lower levels in severe AD patients correlating with worse cognitive function.
- Overall, the research highlights irregular BP rhythms in AD patients, emphasizing the critical role of daytime diastolic BP in relation to cognitive decline.
