ABSTRACT
Cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) entail high costs associated to therapies, hospitalizations and disabilities. Arterial hypertension (AHT) is the major modifiable risk factor for the development of all types of CVDs (cerebrovascular accidents, vascular dementias, etc.). The increase of arterial pressure causes functional and anatomical changes in the cerebral circulation which facilitate the development of CVDs. The time of evolution and the severity of the AHT, as well as the associated vascular risk factors, will determine its impact on the central nervous system.
