Unintended effects of cardiovascular drugs on the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is rapidly becoming one of the leading causes of disability and mortality in the elderly. As life-expectancy increases, an increasing number of people will rely on modern medicines to treat age-associated disorders. Among these medications, some might benefit, while oth...
