An Unexpected Correlation Between Non-Invasive Intracranial Pressure Waveform Assessment in Hypertensive Patients. Could This Be the Link Between Hypertension and Cerebrovascular Diseases as Well as Cognitive Impairments?
Main Article Content
Abstract
A collaborative, interdisciplinary approach within the medical field is of paramount importance, aiming towards fostering an environment conducive to healthy aging in patients. It is incumbent upon us to thoroughly assess the ramifications of cardiovascular influence on cerebral functions and to instigate therapeutic interventions at an early stage, or preferably, preventive measures. This text emphatically reinforces the substantial influence of arterial hypertension on the central nervous system, concurrently suggesting a feasible methodology for its measurement. The aim of this publication is to foreground this problem, thereby catalyzing scientific dialogue, advocating for research proposals, and potentially instigating a reconsideration of our patient care approaches.
