Your brain shows damage before your blood pressure even rises

Hypertension begins harming the brain surprisingly early, even before measurable blood pressure increases. Key cells related to blood vessels, signaling, and myelin maintenance begin aging prematurely and malfunctioning. These disruptions resemble early patterns seen in cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s. Encouragingly, losartan reversed some of this early damage in mice.
