Excessive reduction of SBP might lead to cognitive impairment
A study in 172 patients with dementia and mild cognitive impairment found that patients with SBP lower than 128 mmHg that were treated with anti-hypertensive drugs, showed a greater cognitive decline (after median 9-month follow-up) than those with higher SBP values.
