losartan has been researched along with Dementia, Vascular in 2 studies
Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position
Dementia, Vascular: An imprecise term referring to dementia associated with CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS, including CEREBRAL INFARCTION (single or multiple), and conditions associated with chronic BRAIN ISCHEMIA. Diffuse, cortical, and subcortical subtypes have been described. (From Gerontol Geriatr 1998 Feb;31(1):36-44)

| "In studies of dementias and Alzheimer's disease (AD), some studies have shown that antihypertensive drugs, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, have some moderate effects on cognitive decline, but that the angiotensin receptor antagonist losartan has a significantly beneficial effect." | 2.42 | Angiotensin as a target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, anxiety and depression. ( Gard, PR, 2004) |
| "Hypertension is the major risk factor for SVDs, but how hypertension damages the brain microcirculation is unclear." | 1.62 | Differential restoration of functional hyperemia by antihypertensive drug classes in hypertension-related cerebral small vessel disease.
