Dr. Sam Gandy: "High Blood Pressure May Add to Alzheimer's Risk, Study Finds"
High blood pressure in people with a genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease may spur development of brain plaque, a hallmark of the age-related brain disorder, a new study suggests. "This is good news," said Dr. Sam Gandy, associate director of the Mount Sinai Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. "This means that yet another simple intervention – here, blood pressure control, but think also of physical exercise – can have an important impact on dementia risk and rate of progression," Gandy said.
