ABSTRACT
Vascular dementia (VaD) subtypes include multi-infarct dementia, subcortical ischemic vascular dementia, strategic-infarct dementia, etc. Poststroke dementia may be related to preexisting cognitive level, and the frequency increased with aging, lower educational level and accompanied vascular risk factors. Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) forms a spectrum that includes VaD, mixed Alzheimer's disease (AD) with a vascular component, and VCI without dementia. The concept of VCI will improve the early diagnoses and secondary prevention and treatment of VaD, and promote the further research on vascular component in neurodegenrative disorders.
