Very Interesting Study on Hypertensive Medications and Dementia

I came across a study that has shown that people taking a common type of antihypertensive medication, ACE inhibitors, show slower rates of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease and Vascular Dementia. As dementia is very near and dear to my heart, I found this very intriguing.  ACE inhibitors are a class of medications that are commonly used to control blood pressure. All of these medications end with -pril.

Some examples of these are:

• Captopril
• Ramipril
• Enalapril
• Lisinopril 

(And there are several several more)
