Vascular cognitive impairment

چکیده
As invited editors, we are honored to present this Dementia e Neuropsychologia edition which focuses on Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI). VCI is an extremely important concept in geriatric and neurologic care. In a broad sense, VCI refers to cognitive deficits associated with vascular disease. It is well known that vascular disease is the second-most-common cause of dementia, after Alzheimer’s disease, and an important contributor to mixed dementias. Nonetheless, it is the most preventable and treatable form of cognitive impairment. Thus, it is of great importance to discuss VCI risk factors, diagnosis and treatment strategies.
