An introduction to therapeutic approaches to vascular cognitive impairment

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), encompassing vascular dementia, has been claimed as the “second-most common dementia” after Alzheimer Disease. Whether or not this is true, the clinical picture of most dementia in older people includes vascular disease. There are no validated pharmacological tar...
