Objective. To accomplish a bibliographical revision about the relationship between arterial hypertension and cognition in elderly atients. Method. A reference searching of eleven national and international researches, from 1996 to 2006, related to arterial hypertension and cognition in elderly. Result. Among the papers, eight articles verified that arterial hypertension affected cognitive function, and two articles did not find any relationship between arterial hypertension and cognition, and one article was not conclusive. Conclusion. In most of the papers was verified that there is a association between arterial hypertension and cognition in elderly patients.
