متن کاملVascular Cognitive Impairment
The role of systemic vascular disease in the development and manifestation of dementing illnesses is becoming increasingly important. Both epidemiologic and histopathologic studies have emphasized the role of vascular risk factors not only in the development of cognitive impairment and dementia, but also in the cognitive dysfunction that may result in the presence of both vascular and neurodege...

Although vascular dementia remains the only form of dementia that is preventable, available treatment is limited to the primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease.

The effectiveness of the same measures in the prevention of vascular dementia remains unclear, however, owing mainly to the lack of agreem...
