چکیده
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) has continued to evolve over the past year. Much of the data has been confirmatory with further work on risk factors, silent strokes, leukoaraiosis and lesion volume and location. The importance of the interaction between cerebrovascular disease and other causes of cognitive impairment, most importantly Alzheimer disease (AD) remains a prominent theme. The natural history of VCI remains uncertain and further data on the rate of progression and factors affecting this are presented. It increasingly seems that the rate of progression in well-defined cases is low with no progression over 1 year in 1 study. Interestingly, a novel study from Toronto suggested that steal may be an etiologic mechanism. New trial data have been scanty but of note 1 long trial of aspirin was negative.
