Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The relationship among hypertension, aging and cognitive decline is complex and not completely understood. Purpose of this project will be evaluating early markers of cognitive deterioration in patients with arterial hypertension. In particular, this cross-sectional observational study will be articulated in three phases:

1. Neuropsychological evaluation of general cognitive abilities
2. Identification and measurement of specific biomarker levels
3. Correlation among hypertension, cognitive abilities and biomarkers.
