Multi-infarct dementia results from a series of small strokes affecting several brain regions. Stroke-related dementia involving successive small strokes causes a more gradual decline in cognition. [4] Dementia may occur when neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathologies are mixed, as in susceptible elderly people (75 years and older).
Propentofylline was studied as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia, [1] [4] and has been studied, to a lesser extent, as a possible adjunct in the treatment of ischemic stroke, due to its vasodilating properties. [5] [6] Propentofylline is in use as a veterinary medicine in older dogs. [7]
Binswanger's disease, also known as subcortical leukoencephalopathy and subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy, [1] is a form of small-vessel vascular dementia caused by damage to the white brain matter. [2] White matter atrophy can be caused by many circumstances including chronic hypertension as well as old age. [3]
Anything that affects brain function (including stroke or other conditions that compromise blood flow) can cause cognitive issues and even dementia. Vascular dementia can happen after a stroke ...
Vascular or multi-infarct dementia is a subcortical dementia in which people become slower (than) forgetful,” Segil said. “Early onset diabetes (increases) cardiovascular risk with an ...

Heart problems can increase dementia risk, but a new study suggests that heparin, a common anticoagulant administered via injection, may help delay Alzheimer’s onset.
