Original Contribution Validation of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Versus Mini-Mental State Examination Against Hypertension and Hypertensive Arteriopathy After Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke Alastair J.S. Webb, DPhil; Sarah T. Pendlebury, DPhil; Linxin Li, DPhil; Michela Simoni, DPhil; Nicola Lovett, MRCP; Ziyah Mehta, DPhil; Peter M. Rothwell, FMedSci Background and Purpose—Lack of reduced cognitive impairment with blood pressure (BP) lowering in trials may reflect use of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), which is insensitive to mild cognitive impairment after cerebrovascular events compared with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. We determined relationships between impairment on MMSE versus Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) with the major physiological determinant of vascular cognitive impairment: hypertension and hypertensive arteriopathy. Methods—Cognitive impairment in consecutive patients 6 months after transient ischemic attack or minor stroke was defined as significant, mild, or none (MMSE
