Effects of blood pressure lowering with perindopril and indapamide therapy on dementia and cognitive decline in patients with cerebrovascular disease

BACKGROUND: High blood pressure and stroke are associated with increased risks of dementia and cognitive impairment. This study aimed to determine whether blood pressure lowering would reduce the risks of dementia and cognitive decline among individuals with cerebrovascular disease. METHODS: The Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted among 6105 people with prior stroke or transient ischemic attack. Participants were assigned to either active treatment (perindopril for all participants and indapamide for those with neither an indication for nor a contraindication to a diuretic) or matching placebo(s). The primary outcomes for these analyses were dementia (using DSM-IV criteria) and cognitive decline (a decline of 3 or more points in the Mini-Mental State Examination score). RESULTS: During a mean follow-up of 3.9 years, dementia was documented in 193 (6.3%) of the 3051 randomized participants in the actively treated group and 217 (7.1%) of the 3054 randomized participants in the placebo group (relative risk reduction, 12% [95% confidence interval, -8% to 28%]; P =.2). Cognitive decline occurred in 9.1% of the actively treated group and 11.0% of the placebo group (risk reduction, 19% [95% confidence interval, 4% to 32%]; P =.01). The risks of the composite outcomes of dementia with recurrent stroke and of cognitive decline with recurrent stroke were reduced by 34% (95% confidence interval, 3% to 55%) (P =.03) and 45% (95% confidence interval, 21% to 61%) (P<.001), respectively, with no clear effect on either dementia or cognitive decline in the absence of recurrent stroke. CONCLUSIONS: Active treatment was associated with reduced risks of dementia and cognitive decline associated with recurrent stroke. These findings further support the recommendation that blood pressure lowering with perindopril and indapamide therapy be considered for all patients with cerebrovascular disease.     

Effects of perindopril-based blood pressure lowering and of patient characteristics on the progression of silent brain infarct: the Perindopril Protection against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) CT Substudy in Japan.

Controversy persists as to whether reducing the blood pressure of patients with a history of stroke leads to an increased risk of silent brain infarct (SBI) and dementia. A total of 667 patients were randomized to receive the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor perindopril (4 mg daily), with or without the diuretic indapamide (2 mg daily) or matching placebo(s). Brain CT scanning was performed annually over the mean follow-up period of 3.9 years. Active treatment reduced the blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) by 5.2/2.6 mmHg over the follow-up period. A total of 119 new SBI were detected and 92% of them were lacunar type small infarcts. The frequency of reaching the primary end-point (recurrent symptomatic stroke or new SBI) was similar in the placebo group (26.5%) and in the active treatment group (25.9%). There was no significant difference in brain atrophy indices between two groups. In the subgroup with a history of large artery infarction, 7 out of 55 patients from the placebo group developed new SBI, while none of the 40 patients from the active treatment group did so (p = 0.020). The baseline diastolic blood pressure was significantly associated with the risk of new SBI (p = 0.004), but the stroke subtype was not. In conclusion, blood pressure-lowering with a perindopril-based regimen did not increase the risk of SBI and brain atrophy in patients with a history of stroke. The baseline diastolic blood pressure was an independent predictor of new SBI, but the index stroke subtype did not influence the risk of SBI.     

ACE gene polymorphism in cardiovascular disease: meta-analyses of small and large studies in whites

The objective of this study was to assess the influence of the ACE gene insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism on plasma ACE activity; blood pressure; and risk of myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, and ischemic cerebrovascular disease by comparing small and large studies. The meta-analyses are based on a literature search of MEDLINE up until April 1998 and assessment of bibliographies of published studies and reviews. Forty-six studies were selected, including a total of 32 715 white individuals. Plasma ACE activity was increased 40% and 71% for ID and DD versus II in small studies and 21% and 48% in large studies (small versus large: P<0.001 and P<0.001). Blood pressure was not influenced by genotype. Risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease was increased by 47% and 29%, respectively, for DD versus ID and II genotypes in small studies but not in large studies (small versus large: P<0.001 for risk of myocardial infarction and P=0.01 for risk of ischemic heart disease). Risk of ischemic cerebrovascular disease was not increased either in the small or in the largest study. In conclusion, the ACE gene polymorphism affects plasma ACE activity but not blood pressure and is not associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, or ischemic cerebrovascular disease in the largest studies.     

Effects of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-based regimen on pneumonia risk

Observational studies conducted among Asian populations suggest that the risk of pneumonia is substantially reduced among users of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors but not other blood pressure-lowering agents. We conducted analyses of the effects of ACE inhibitor therapy on pneumonia in 6,105 patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack enrolled in a randomized trial conducted in Australasia, Europe, and Asia. Patients were randomly assigned perindopril-based active treatment or placebo. The effects of ACE inhibitors on pneumonia (fatal or nonfatal) were determined from Cox models fitted according to the principle of intention to treat. During a median follow-up of 3.9 years, 261 patients developed pneumonia. Overall, active treatment was associated with a nonsignificant 19% lower risk of pneumonia (95% confidence interval, -3 to 37; p = 0.09) compared with placebo. Active treatment significantly reduced the risk of pneumonia among participants of Asian ethnicity (47%, 14-67%; p = 0.01), with no significant effect among non-Asian participants (5%, -27 to 29%; p = 0.7) (p for homogeneity = 0.04). These findings substantially add to the body of evidence about the effects of these drugs on pneumonia but do not provide the definitive information required to inform clinical decisions about the prevention of pneumonia with ACE inhibitors.     

Prevention of dementia and cerebroprotection with antihypertensive drugs

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for stroke and is also closely correlated with cognitive decline and dementia. Indeed, most longitudinal studies showed that cognitive functioning is often inversely proportional to blood pressure values measured 15 or 20 years previously. Because of the aging of the population, the frequency of stroke and dementia will dramatically increase in the coming years. Therefore, the prevention of cerebrovascular and cognitive disorders represents a major challenge. Antihypertensive drugs have shown clinical benefits in both primary and secondary prevention of strokes. Consensus is generally that blood-pressure lowering represents the major determinant of the benefit conferred by the antihypertensive treatment for stroke prevention; however, recent studies have suggested some differences between classes of antihypertensive drugs. The results of therapeutic trials (Systolic Hypertension in Europe [Syst-Eur], Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study [PROGRESS]) open the way to the prevention of dementia (vascular or Alzheimer’s type) by antihypertensive treatments. These two studies suggest different mechanisms for the prevention of cognitive decline using antihypertensive drugs. In this context, reduced incidence of dementia should be the primary outcome of future trials comparing different classes of antihypertensive drugs.     

Reductions in the risks of recurrent stroke in patients with and without diabetes: the PROGRESS Trial

BACKGROUND: Analyses of the risks of stroke were conducted for subjects with and without diabetes, participating in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a perindopril-based blood pressure lowering regimen in 6105 people with prior stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), followed for a median of 3.9 years. FINDINGS: Seven hundred and sixty-one patients had diabetes at baseline. Diabetes increased the risk of recurrent stroke by 35% (95% CI 10-65%) principally through an effect on ischaemic stroke (1.53, 95% CI 1.23-1.90). Active treatment reduced blood pressure by 9.5/4.6 mmHg in patients with diabetes and by 8.9/3.9 mmHg in patients without diabetes. The proportional risk reductions achieved for stroke in patients with diabetes, 38% (95% CI 8-58%), and patients without diabetes, 28% (95% CI 16-39%), were not significantly different (p homogeneity = 0.5). The absolute reduction in the risk of recurrent stroke in the patients with diabetes was equivalent to one stroke avoided among every 16 (95% CI 9-111) patients treated for 5 years. CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes is an important risk factor for stroke in patients with established cerebrovascular disease. Treatment with the ACE inhibitor perindopril with discretionary use of the diuretic indapamide produced reductions in the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with diabetes that were at least as great as those achieved in patients without diabetes.     

Secondary prevention of stroke by blood pressure-lowering treatment

High blood pressure is the most important modiflable risk factor for stroke, accounting for more than 50% of the population-attributable fraction for stroke. There is now strong evidence from randomized trials that blood pressure-lowering treatment is one of the most effective and generalizable strategies for secondary prevention of stroke. Once the patient with stroke has stabilized, all patients should receive blood pressure-lowering therapy, irrespective of their blood pressure levels. Combination therapy with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor plus a diuretic is an established regimen, but an angiotensin II-receptor blocker may provide an alternative regimen in patients who do not tolerate an ACE inhibitor, especially in combination with a diuretic. For patients with previous stroke, goal blood pressures of < 130/80 mm Hg in hypertensive subjects and < 120/80 mm Hg in normotensive (or “prehypertensive”) subjects should be achieved using combination blood pressure-lowering therapy.     

PROGRESS: Prevention of Recurrent Stroke

The Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) was a randomized placebo-controlled trial which clearly demonstrated that perindopril-based blood pressure (BP)-lowering treatment is one of the most effective and generalizable strategies for secondary prevention of stroke. Beneficial effects of BP lowering were observed on recurrent stroke, other cardiovascular events, disability, dependency, and cognitive function across a variety of subgroups defined by age, sex, geographical region, body mass index, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, and baseline BP levels. Once patients with stroke have stabilized, all patients should receive BP-lowering therapy irrespective of their BP levels. On the basis of recommendations from current international guidelines, BP should be lowered to <140/90 mm Hg in all patients with cerebrovascular disease and to <130/80 mm Hg if therapy is well tolerated.     

Stroke-related dementia

Three months after a stroke, one quarter to one third of patients meet operationalized criteria for dementia, and an even greater proportion have cognitive impairment short of dementia. A significant number of these patients had mental deterioration before the stroke, implying an underlying neurodegenerative process. Current diagnostic criteria do not reflect these facts, and in addition to artificially using cerebrovascular disease to differentiate Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, they do not allow researchers and clinicians to identify subjects at risk in the early stages of cognitive decline. To be clinically useful, a broader concept of cognitive impairment in the setting of vascular disease needs to be developed based on data collected prospectively using cohorts of stroke patients.     

Pathogenicity of thermolabile methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase for vascular dementia

Although the major biochemical abnormality due to methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency is hyperhomocyst(e)inemia, its pathogenicity appears to involve more than homocysteine toxicity. In patients with severe MTHFR deficiency, a metabolite(s) other than hyperhomocyst(e)inemia also appears to be associated with its clinical manifestation in cerebrovascular disease. To elucidate the specific role of the TT genotype of MTHFR in the development of cerebral infarction with and without cognitive impairment, we determined the prevalence of hyperhomocyst(e)inemia and the C677T genotypes of MTHFR in 143 patients with vascular dementia, 122 patients with cerebral infarction, and 217 healthy subjects matched for age and sex. Prevalence of hyperhomocyst(e)inemia [homocyst(e)ine >/=15 micromol/L] was higher in cerebrovascular patients with or without dementia than in normal control subjects (42.6%, 20.5%, and 10.1%, respectively; P=0.001). In contrast, a higher frequency of MTHFR TT genotype was found only in demented patients compared with nondemented patients and healthy controls (25.2%, 9.8%, and 12.0%, respectively; P=0.01). When the study subjects were divided into normohomocyst(e)inemic and hyperhomocyst(e)inemic groups, the TT genotype was significantly associated with the risk for vascular dementia in the hyperhomocyst(e)inemic group (odds ratio 4.13, 95% CI 2.18 to 7.85; P=0.03) but not in the normohomocyst(e)inemic group. Demented patients with multiple infarcts had a higher frequency of TT genotype (odds ratio 3.13, 95% CI 2.23 to 4.39; P=0.0007), whereas those with a single infarct did not (odds ratio 2.03, P=0.15). In contrast, there was no significant association of the TT genotype with multiple infarcts in hyperhomocyst(e)inemic stroke patients. Taken together, these findings indicate a possible role of MTHFR TT genotype combined with hyperhomocyst(e)inemia in the pathogenesis of vascular dementia. Similar to the relationship between homocystinuria due to severe MTHFR deficiency and severe cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency, the TT genotype of MTHFR in hyperhomocyst(e)inemic subjects is differentiated from the cases of the TT genotype without hyperhomocyst(e)inemia or hyperhomocyst(e)inemia without the TT genotype in the development of cerebrovascular disease.     

Blood Pressure Lowering for the Prevention of Cognitive Decline in Patients with Cerebrovascular Disease

Cerebrovascular disease and high blood pressure both appear to increase the risk of vascular dementia. PROGRESS aims to investigate whether blood pressure lowering with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor-based regimen will reduce the risk of cognitive impairment in patients with a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack. A total of at least 6000 patients will be randomised to receive perindopril (± indapamide) or matching placebo(s), with treatment and follow-up scheduled to continue for at least 4 years. Substudies will investigate the effects of treatment on cognitive decline in subgroups defined by apo-E genotype and on white matter lesions assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Final results from the study should be available in 2001.

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene variants: risk of mortality and fatal cardiovascular disease in an elderly population-based cohort.

OBJECTIVES: We studied the contribution of putative risk genotypes at the angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE D/D) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1 4G/4G) loci to all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a population-based cohort. BACKGROUND: The ACE D/D and PAI-1 4G/4G genotypes have been consistently associated with elevated plasma activities of the gene products. Their role in cardiovascular disease, although explored intensively, is still equivocal. METHODS: The ACE and PAI-1 genotypes were determined in 648 subjects > or =85 years old. In a cross-sectional analysis, the genotype distributions in a subset of 356 elderly subjects who were born in Leiden, The Netherlands, were compared with those in 250 young subjects whose families originated from the same geographic region. In addition, the complete cohort of elderly subjects was followed over 10 years for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and was stratified according to genotype. RESULTS: In the cross-sectional analysis, the ACE and PAI-1 genotype distributions were similar in elderly and young subjects. In the prospective follow-up study, however, the age-adjusted risk of fatal ischemic heart disease was increased threefold (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2 to 7.6) in elderly men carrying the PAI-1 4G/4G genotype. The risk of all-cause mortality was not increased among elderly subjects carrying the PAI-1 4G/4G (relative risk [RR] 0.9, 95% CI 0.7 to 1.1) or the ACE D/D genotype (RR 0.9, 95% CI 0.7 to 1.1), nor did we observe elevated risks of death from all cardiovascular diseases combined. There was no interaction between the genotypes. CONCLUSIONS: The PAI 4G/4G genotype may be a risk factor for fatal ischemic heart disease in elderly men. The impact of moderately increased ACE and PAI-1 activities associated with the ACE D/D and PAI-1 4G/4G genotypes is too small to affect mortality in the general population.     

Lack of Association of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphism or Serum Enzyme Activity With Coronary Artery Disease in Japanese Subjects

The association of an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene or the serum activity of ACE with coronary artery disease (CAD) was investigated in Japanese men and women. The ACE genotype of 947 CAD subjects who underwent coronary angiography and of 893 control subjects was determined by polymerase chain reaction analysis. No association of the DD genotype or the D allele with CAD was observed in men or women. In a low risk group (defined by a body mass index below the median value and the absence of a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia), there was also no association between the ACE gene polymorphism and CAD. No significant difference in serum ACE activity was detected between CAD subjects and controls of all genotypes or of the same genotype, whereas a significant association was apparent between serum ACE activity and ACE genotype for both CAD subjects and controls among both men and women. These results indicate that the ACE I/D polymorphism and genotype associated variation in serum ACE activity are not risk factors for CAD in Japanese men or women.     

Relationship between polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene and the response to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in hypertensive patients.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between polymorphism of the anglotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and the blood pressure response to ACE inhibition in a hypertensive cohort. Imidapril (5-10 mg/day) or benazepril (10-20 mg/day) was administered for 6 weeks to 517 essential hypertensives. ACE gene polymorphism was examined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and the patients were classified as having the 190-bp deletion homozygous (DD) genotype, the 490-bp insertion homozygous (II) genotype, or the 490-bp insertion, 190-bp deletion heterozygous (ID) genotype. The achieved change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) was analyzed for association with genotypes at the ACE gene locus. The DD genotype was observed in 132 patients (25.5%), the ID genotype in 255 patients (49.3%), and the II genotype in 130 patients (25.2%). The SBP reductions in the patients with the DD genotype, II genotype, and ID genotype were -14.5 +/- 12.7 mmHg, -14.3 +/- 13.1 mmHg and -14.0 +/- 12.2 mmHg, respectively (p = 0.94). The DBP reductions in the patients with the DD genotype, II genotype, and ID genotype were -8.7 +/- 7.4 mmHg, -8.7 +/- 7.7 mmHg and -8.5 +/- 6.7 mmHg, respectively (p = 0.96). There was no significant association between the ACE gene polymorphisms and the response to ACE inhibition. These results suggest that ACE genotype does not predict the blood pressure-lowering response to antihypertensive treatment with ACE inhibition.     

Benefits and risks of antihypertensive medications in the elderly

Hypertension is highly prevalent in older age and accounts for a large proportion of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality worldwide. Isolated systolic hypertension is more common in the elderly than younger adults and associated with poor outcomes such as cerebrovascular disease and acute coronary events. International guidelines are inconsistent in providing recommendations on optimal blood pressure targets in hypertensive elderly patients as a result of the limited evidence in this population. Evidence from clinical trials supports the use of antihypertensive drugs in hypertensive elderly patients due to benefits in reducing CV disease and mortality. However, elderly participants in these trials may not be typical of elderly patients seen in routine clinical practice, and the potential risks associated with use of antihypertensive drugs in the elderly are not as well studied as younger participants. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to provide a comprehensive summary of the benefits and risks of the use of antihypertensive drugs in elderly patients (aged ≥65 years), highlighting landmark clinical trials and observational studies. We will focus on specific outcomes relating to the benefits and risks of these medications in hypertensive elderly patients, such as CV disease, cognitive decline, dementia, orthostatic hypotension, falls, fractures, cancer and diabetes, in order to provide an update of the most relevant and current evidence to help inform clinical decision‐making.
