Study Summary

This pilot proposal will test the hypothesis that altered cerebral vessel reactivity and cerebral hypoperfusion (decreased blood flow to the brain) is a core mechanism underlying the relationship between vascular disease and depression in older adults. The long-term objective of this line of research is to: A) determine the relationship between vascular reactivity, cerebral hypoperfusion and the persistence of late-life depression and B) determine if improving cerebral perfusion with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) improves depression outcomes.

Primary Outcome

MRI arterial spin labeling is a noninvasive approach to measuring cerebral blood flow. This relates to the Phase 1 sertraline arm.

Interventions

  • DRUG Sertraline
  • DRUG Candesartan
