Study Summary

This study is intended to investigate the safety of candesartan, a blood pressure medication, in non-hypertensive individuals who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease and its effect on disease biomarkers.

Primary Outcome

Hypotension is defined as blood pressure \<100/40 mm Hg. Blood pressure was measured according to the American Heart Association guidelines with the subject in the sitting position and rested for 5 minutes. An appropriate cuff size (covering 60% of upper arm length and 80% of arm circumference) was used and correct cuff placement (1-2 inches above the brachial pulse on bare arm) was ensured.
