Description:
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) are widely used anti-hypertensive agents that are also reported to have positive effects on mood and cognition. The present study examined the influence of the ACEi, perindopril, on cognitive performance and anxiety measures in rats. Two groups of rats were treated orally for one week with the ACEi, perindopril, at doses of 0.1 and 1.0mg/kg/day. Learning was assessed by the reference memory task in the water maze, comparing treated to control rats. Over five training days both perindopril-treated groups learnt the location of the submerged platform in the water maze task significantly faster than control rats. A 60s probe trial on day 6 showed that the 1.0mg/kg/day group spent significantly longer time in the training quadrant than control rats. This improved performance in the swim maze task was not due to the effect of perindopril on motor activity or the anxiety levels of the rats as perindopril-treated and control animals behaved similarly in activity boxes and on the elevated+maze. These results confirm the anecdotal human studies that ACEis have a positive influence on cognition and provide possibilities for ACEis to be developed into therapies for memory loss. ... Read more

Product Description
Roughly one of every three Americans has some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including more than 70% of persons older than 75 years of age.Long associated with increased risk for mortality and disability, CVD is also a major risk factor for stroke and cerebrovascular disease. There has been growing consensus that CVD is also an important contributor to poor neurocognitive outcome in own right.Numerous studies now link CVD to accelerated cognitive decline, and structural and functional brain abnormalities, including neurodegnerative conditions in the elderly. While vascular dementia is the most obvious example of severe brain dysfunction directly tied to chronic vascular disease, evidence is also mounting that Alzheimer's disease may be linked to some of the same pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie cardiovascular disease.

This book was written to provide up-to-date insight into these heart-brain connections and the neuropsychology of CVD.Highlights include:



· Controversies in vascular dementia and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI)


· Effects of aging on cerebral hemodynamics and autoregulation


· How blood vessel function contributes to cognitive decline


· Updates on the cognitive impact of cardiosurgical procedures


· Neurocognitive aspects of heart failure


· Neuropsychological evaluation of persons with CVD


· Mechanisms by which neurological changes produce cardiac dysfunction


· Recent findings in the structural and functional neuroimaging in CVD

Both clinicians and researchers in neuropsychology, health psychology, cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, geriatrics and many others will find this book an important resource. ... Read more

Product Description
Is failure in vascular integrity a causal factor in Alzheimer's disease?Vascular factors — including cerebral abnormalities, cardiovascular pathophysiology, and genetic influences — are rapidly gaining importance in the study of the cause and progression of Alzheimer's disease, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and other dementias. This edited volume presents some of the latest findings.

The contributors address several important epidemiologic, pathologic, and clinical issues in establishing the role of vascular pathogenesis of these debilitating disorders, including a review of cholinergic and other molecular mechanisms; white matter lesions; and the role of apolipoprotein E.Addressing timely issues, the presenters offer new approaches to diagnostic, preventive and treatment strategies for vascular expressions of the dementias. ...
