Since stroke is an essential part of vascular dementia, [13] the goal is to prevent new strokes. This is attempted through reduction of stroke risk factors, such as high blood pressure , high blood lipid levels , atrial fibrillation , or diabetes mellitus .
Binswanger's disease is a type of subcortical vascular dementia caused by white matter atrophy to the brain. However, white matter atrophy alone is not sufficient for this disease; evidence of subcortical dementia is also necessary.
Another symptom which should be monitored is Type 2 diabetes, which can lead to vascular dementia. [14] Also linked with vascular dementia issues is high cholesterol; furthermore, this risk factor is related to cognitive decline, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. [14] It is estimated that within 20 years, worldwide prevalence will increase twofold.
The review says that more research is still needed to determine the optimal frequency and kind of exercise between resistance training, aerobic exercise, or a combo of the two.
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 ...
Hachinski showed in 1975 that, in fact, only a small minority of dementias were so-caused, and that most were “multi-infarct dementias” — dementias caused by multiple, small, often imperceptible strokes. [12] The terms “vascular dementia” and “vascular cognitive impairment” would later be widely adopted to describe all cognitive ...
A new expert report, published in the journal Stroke, reviews the latest research and explains that three common cardiovascular diseases in adults — heart failure, atrial fibrillation (AFib ...
While investigating stroke-patients with damage to the thalamus, Cipolotti et al. (2008) [19] found that the stroke victims had poor recognition and recall memory on verbal and non-verbal tests. The poor recall identified that the retrospective memory of the patients was being effected by the damage on the thalamus due to stroke.
