BIDIRECTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HYPERTENSION AND NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

Hypertension and neurological disorders frequently coexist, suggesting a complex interplay. This abstract highlights the bidirectional relationship between these conditions. While hypertension is a known risk factor for various neurological disorders, including stroke and cognitive impairment, emerging evidence suggests that certain neurological conditions can, in turn, contribute to the development or exacerbation of hypertension. This review explores the mechanisms underlying this bidirectional relationship, including the role of inflammation, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and shared risk factors. Understanding this complex interaction is crucial for improving prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for both hypertension and neurological disorders.
