Emerging therapies for vascular dementia and vascular cognitive impairment.
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and ischemic brain injury secondary to cardiovascular disease are common causes of dementia and cognitive decline in the elderly. CVD also contributes to cognitive loss in Alzheimer disease (AD). SUMMARY Progress in understanding vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and vascular dementia (VaD) has resulted in promising symptomatic and preventive treatme...
متن کاملVascular cognitive impairment in dementia.
Vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular disease are common causes of dementia. Shared risk factors for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease, as well as frequent coexistence of these pathologies in cognitively impaired older people, suggests convergence of the aetiology, prevention and management of the commonest dementias affecting older people. In light of this understanding, the cognit...
متن کاملCiticoline in vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia after stroke.
Cognitive decline after stroke is more common than stroke recurrence. Stroke doubles the risk of dementia and is a major contributor to vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia. Neuropathological studies in most cases of dementia in the elderly reveal a large load of vascular ischemic brain lesions mixed with a lesser contribution of neurodegenerative lesions of Alzheimer disease. No...
متن کاملVascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
Cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer disease (AD) lesions are common in older people and accumulate with age. Cerebrovascular lesions can directly reduce cognitive status: vascular dementia is the second most common cause of clinical dementia after AD. In addition, cerebrovascular lesions worsen the impact of AD and other dementia pathologies and may contribute to AD pathogenesis. This spectru...
متن کاملStroke injury, cognitive impairment and vascular dementia☆
The global burden of ischaemic strokes is almost 4-fold greater than haemorrhagic strokes. Current evidence suggests that 25-30% of ischaemic stroke survivors develop immediate or delayed vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) or vascular dementia (VaD). Dementia after stroke injury may encompass all types of cognitive disorders. States of cognitive dysfunction before the index stroke are describe...
