Vascular Dementia - Binswanger's DiseaseGeneral InformationNEWS:ARTICLES:JOURNAL ARTICLES:Behavioral Alterations and Vascular Dementia. (Neurologist. 2006) Cognitive predictors of functional decline in vascular dementia. (Int J Geriatr Psychiatry. 2006) Neuroprotection in Vascular Dementia. (Cerebrovasc Dis. 2006) "The treatment of modifiable vascular risk factors - hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and heart disease - is an important strategy for the reduction of the risk of dementia, and is likely to slow the progress of cognitive decline." Vascular Dementia: Potential of Antiplatelet Agents in Prevention (European Neurology 2006) "The term 'vascular dementia' (VaD) corresponds to a clinicoradiological syndrome that can be defined with more or less restriction. VaD can result from: (1) cortical or subcortical ischemic lesions related to the occlusion of large vessels, (2) lacunar infarcts with or without white-matter lesions at the subcortical level related to small-vessel diseases, (3) ischemic lesions related to hypoperfusion or anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or (4) hemorrhagic lesions. The prevention of VaD is based on stroke prevention which implies risk factor manipulation and use of antithrombotic drugs among which the most widely used are antiplatelet drugs."
