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...

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 targets for prevention or treatment of VCI. This has inspired a multitude of potential treatment approaches, reflected by the articles in this Special Issue. These include in vitro testing of the novel oral anticoagulant dabigatran for protection against β-amyloid neurotoxicity, and an overview of neuroinflammation in VCI and the role of circulating markers (PIGF, VEGF-D) identified by the MarkVCID study.
