Abstract

Vascular dementia is the second most prevalent form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease and is characterized by the deficit of cognitive functions of cerebrovascular origin. At present, there are still opposing views about terminology, classification and diagnostic criteria, methods of treatment for vascular dementia. The aim of the preventive measures is to reduce vascular dementia prevalence by cerebrovascular disease effect on risk factors (primary prophylaxis), or treating patients after stroke (secondary prevention). The basic management of vascular dementia patients is based on the prescription of cholinesterase inhibitors.
