Could your blood pressure pill also protect your brain?
NCT ID NCT05125237
Summary
This study looked back at health records to see if two specific blood pressure drugs (amiloride or triamterene) could help prevent dementia in older adults. Researchers analyzed data from over 155,000 Medicare patients aged 65+ with high blood pressure. The goal was to compare the risk of developing dementia between people taking these drugs and those taking other blood pressure medications.
