Cross-sectional analysis reveals cognitive impairment is linked to stroke features, not hypertension.

Cognitive impairment was found in 75 out of 110 post-ischemic stroke patients, indicating a significant impact on brain function.
The incidence of cognitive impairment was threefold higher after stroke, affecting various cognitive abilities like memory and attention.
Using logistic regression, the study examined factors linked to cognitive impairment, revealing lesions as significant, while hypertension showed no effect.
Findings suggest that recurrent stroke and the presence of lesions are key factors for cognitive issues, not hypertension.

Nidlom et al. (2025) studied this question.
