Produktbeschreibung
The importance of lowering blood pressure in hypertensive subjects is well known and studies suggest that lowering of blood pressure in patients who may already be in the normotensive range further reduces the risk of vascular events, particularly stroke. Epidemiological data have also shown that lower blood pressure and antihypertensive treatment may be associated with cognitive impairment once cerebrovascular disease is established.
