The study identifies brain regions damaged by high blood pressure, linking hypertension to cognitive impairment. Using genetic data and MRI scans, researchers pinpoint nine brain structures affected by blood pressure. The findings suggest a causal relationship between hypertension and cognitive decline, emphasizing the importance of prevention and treatment. Identifying these structures could help assess the risk of cognitive impairment in hypertensive patients and explore new treatment targets.
