Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TLDR
This scientific statement provides an overview of the evidence on vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia and provides evidence that subcortical forms of VCI with white matter hyperintensities and small deep infarcts are common and risk markers for VCI are the same as traditional risk factors for stroke.
Abstract
Background and Purpose—This scientific statement provides an overview of the evidence on vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia. Vascular contributions to cognitive impairment ...

Neuroimaging standards for research into small vessel disease and its contribution to ageing and neurodegeneration

TL;DR: This Position Paper summarises the main outcomes of this international effort to provide the STandards for ReportIng Vascular changes on nEuroimaging (STRIVE).
Journal ArticleDOI

The pathobiology of vascular dementia

TL;DR: This review will examine how vascular damage disrupts vital homeostatic interactions in brain health, focusing on the hemispheric white matter, a region at heightened risk for vascular damage, and on the interplay between vascular factors and Alzheimer's disease.

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA: A Brief Screening Tool For Mild Cognitive Impairment

TL;DR: A 10‐minute cognitive screening tool (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA) to assist first‐line physicians in detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a clinical state that often progresses to dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mild Cognitive Impairment: Clinical Characterization and Outcome

TL;DR: Patients who meet the criteria for MCI can be differentiated from healthy control subjects and those with very mild AD, and appear to constitute a clinical entity that can be characterized for treatment interventions.

Efficacy and safety of cholesterol-lowering treatment: prospective meta-analysis of data from 90,056 participants in 14 randomised trials of statins.

TL;DR: Statin therapy can safely reduce the 5-year incidence of major coronary events, coronary revascularisation, and stroke by about one fifth per mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol, largely irrespective of the initial lipid profile or other presenting characteristics.

Mild cognitive impairment as a diagnostic entity

TL;DR: It is suggested that the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment can be made in a fashion similar to the clinical diagnoses of dementia and AD, and an algorithm is presented to assist the clinician in identifying subjects and subclassifying them into the various types of MCI.
