Synopsis
Although understanding of the relationship between cardiovascular disease and brain dysfunction has improved significantly over the past decades, it remains unclear whether hypertension can be a potential risk factor for cognitive impairment. This study tried to use resting-state fMRI to explore the association between hypertensive (HTN) and brain function alterations. We found significant differences in the DMN subsystems in HTN group compared with control group. We also observed higher assortativity in HTN group.
