The BP COG study is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) / National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)-funded R01 study that aims to determine the effect of high blood pressure over the life course on the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia in Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites, and to estimate the potential impact of optimal high blood pressure treatment intensity to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive impairment and dementia.
The STROKE COG study is an NIH-funded R01 study that aims to advance the understanding of post-stroke dementia and how post-stroke blood pressure, glucose, and lipid levels independently contribute to post-stroke dementia risk.
The MCI DeM study is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) / National Institute on Aging (NIA)-funded R01 study that aims to compare the quality of cardiovascular disease care in adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to determine the influence of MCI on patient preferences and physician recommendations for heart attack and stroke treatment.
