High blood pressure affects the connectivity functions more, which means your memories and thinking ability is more likely to still be there, but without the connectivity, we all see it as if you have lost those brain cells, when those go last.
This points to lowering blood pressure to preserve the connectivity functions of white matter, rather than targeting brain cells, alone.
If you can get your brain to heal a bit, you might find some memories or abilities can come back to you, because you may not have yet lost them—only their connections were damaged.

Seriously, how does “high blood pressure” REDUCE blood flow? It cannot. However, if the arteries are NARROWING due to something else, then high blood pressure is the body’s compensation trying to keep the blood quantity going.
Thus blood pressure is a symptom of something that can cause dementia, but reducing blood pressure by drugs would only FURTHER reduce the amount of blood getting through, making dementia more likely.
