Dementia is the general term for a gradual progressive decline in a person’s memory and other mental abilities. Vascular dementia is the second most common cause of dementia and recently its incidence has been found to be higher than previously expected. The most common type of vascular dementia is multi-infarct dementia (MID) where the brain has been damaged by repeated small strokes. However, vascular dementia can be caused by a number of other conditions including high blood pressure (hypertension), irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and diseases which cause damage to the arteries in the brain. Indeed, any condition which causes the circulation to the brain to be impaired or damaged carries a risk to mental abilities. Vascular dementia accounts for almost 20% of all cases of dementia, with at least another 20% of people having both Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia (Brown 1993)

Can the condition be treated? Online Resources ... Related Topics Did you know? Multi-Infarct Dementia (MID), also known as vascular dementia generally affects people between the ages of 60 and 75, and affects more men than women. Vascular Dementia (MID, Multi-infarct dementia) is caused by a series of small strokes that gradually lead to a loss of intellectual functioning. The strokes occur when blood clots block small blood vessels, causing damage to brain tissue. The damage is usually gradual and effects of the strokes are not immediately noticeable. Over time, however, the damage interferes with basic cognitive functions and disrupts everyday functioning. Vascular dementia can occur with other types of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. The disease progresses over a period of months and years. People with vascular dementia are known to go long periods of time with improvement or stability, but when a stroke occurs, the symptoms quickly come back. Risk factors for vascular dementia include high blood pressure and advanced age. Controlling high blood pressure is imperative in lowering your risk of stroke.

Histopathologically, a characteristic eosinophilic granular deposit of an unknown composition has been present in the media of the small penetrating cerebral arteries. This seems to cause vascular obliteration and, consequently, multiple infarcts, mainly in the white matter, basal ganglia and leptomeninges . Extracerebral vascular abnormalities have also been noted

    Extractions: What is Vascular dementia? Vascular dementia is the broad term for dementia associated with problems of the circulation of blood to the brain. Are there different types of Vascular dementia? There are a number of different types of Vascular dementia. Two of the most common are: Multi-infarct dementia This is probably the most common form of Vascular dementia. Multi-infarct dementia is caused by a number of small strokes, called mini-strokes or Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIA) .The strokes cause damage to the cortex of the brain -the area associated with learning, memory and language. A person with Multi- infarct dementia is likely to have better insight into their condition in the early stages than people with Alzheimer's disease, and parts of their personality may remain relatively intact for longer. Symptoms may include severe depression, mood swings and epilepsy. Binswanger's disease (also known as Subcortical vascular dementia) This was thought to be rare, but is now being reassessed, and may be relatively common. As with other vascular dementias, it is associated with stroke-related changes. It is the "white matter" deep within the brain that is affected. It is caused by high blood pressure, thickening of the arteries and inadequate blood flow. Symptoms often include slowness and lethargy, difficulty walking, emotional ups and downs and lack of bladder control early in the course of the disease, with gradually progressive dementia developing later. Most people with Binswanger's disease have, or have had, high blood pressure.

Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 20 August 2000. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Aspirin is widely prescribed for patients with a diagnosis of vascular dementia; in one study, completed by geriatricians and psychiatrists in the UK, 80% of patients with clinical diagnoses of vascular dementia were prescribed aspirin. However, a number of queries remain unanswered. Is there convincing evidence that aspirin benefits patients with vascular dementia? Does aspirin affect cognition or improve prognosis? In addition, does the risk of cerebral or gastric haemorrhage outweigh any benefit? Objectives: To assess the evidence of effectiveness of the use of aspirin for vascular dementia. Search strategy: Trials were identified from a search of the Specialized Register of the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group on 24 November 2003 using the terms: aspirin and "vascu* or multi-infarct". This database contains records from all major medical databases and major trials databases and is updated regularly.In addition, relevant web sites were searched and some journals were hand searched. Specialists in the field were approached for unpublished material and any publications found were searched for additional references.

Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 15 April 2002. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Dementia is an age-associated syndrome most commonly due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and/or cerebrovascular disease. Calcium has an important role in regulating brain functions. Calcium ions link membrane excitation to subsequent intracellular molecular responses. Age-associated changes in calcium homoeostasis have possible repercussions on higher cortical functions. Nimodipine is an isopropyl calcium channel blocker which readily crosses the blood-brain barrier. Its primary action is to reduce the number of open calcium channels in cell membranes, thus restricting influx of calcium ions into cells.The usefulness of nimodipine in patients with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia and unspecified dementia is still controversial. In spite of the uncertainties about its efficacy in dementia, nimodipine is currently frequently prescribed for cognitive impairment and dementia in several continental European countries. Objectives: To assess the clinical efficacy of nimodipine for the manifestations of dementia, in unclassified disease and in the major subtypes - Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disease, and mixed Alzheimer's and cerebrovascular disease.

Recently, it has been suggested that cerebrovascular disease might play a role in the pathogenesis of both vascular dementia (VD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nevertheless, the possible association of dyslipidemias with VD or AD is still a controversial issue.

    Extractions: One of the most common attributes of aging is a progressive change in our blood vessels (vasculature), and when these changes occur in the brain (cerebrum) they are referred to as cerebrovascular disease. The most common vascular change associated with age is the accumulation of cholesterol and other substances in the blood vessel walls. This results in the thickening and hardening of the walls as well as narrowing of the lumen of the vessels (the space where blood flows), which can result in a reduction or even a complete cessation of blood flow to brain regions supplied by the affected artery. When this occurs suddenly the result is a stroke, with symptoms ranging from weakness, to incoordination, to abnormal sensations, depending on the location of the injury in the brain. In some cases, a sudden loss of cognitive function (such as language, memory, complex visual processing, or organizational skills) can occur. These sudden changes in neurologic function usually prompt a quick medical evaluation, and strokes are usually diagnosed easily with modern brain imaging techniques. If they result in a permanent cognitive impairment, this is easily recognized by the patient, their family and their physician, because of the obvious relationship of the change to a particular event. The cognitive problems are usually worst at their onset, and improve over time. Such cases are not usually diagnosed as dementia, but rather the difficulties are appropriately described as residual cognitive impairment from the stroke.

    Extractions: Vascular dementia accounts for about 20% of all cases of dementia. Vascular disease occurs where blood vessels are damaged and the supply of oxygen is at risk. If oxygen supply fails in the brain, brain cells are likely to die leading to a series of mini strokes (infarcts) and possible vascular dementia. The mini strokes that cause vascular dementia are often so slight that they cause no immediate symptoms, or they may cause some temporary confusion. However, each stroke destroys a small area of cells in the brain by cutting off its blood supply and the cumulative effect of a number of mini strokes is often sufficient to cause vascular dementia. Vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease frequently occur together and they may often act in combination to cause dementia. Mental decline is likely to have a clear start date and symptoms tend to progress in a series of steps following each attack, suggesting that small strokes have been occurring. May include severe depression, mood swings and epilepsy. Some areas of the brain may be more affected than others. Consequently, some mental abilities may be relatively unaffected.

    Extractions: Two large studies have shown significant improvement in cognitive performance in mild to moderate vascular dementia. Both studies were double blind randomized multicenter studies lasting 28 weeks. Both of them investigated the long-term efficacy and tolerability of memantine in patients with probable diagnosis of vascular dementia. Figure 3 : Significant Benefit of Memantine on Cognition (ADAS-cog) The first study, titled MMM 300, was conducted in France and included 321 participants with an MMSE between 12 and 20. They were randomized double-blind to receive either 10 mg memantine or placebo twice a day. The primary endpoints were ADAS-cog and CIBIC-Plus Figure 1 : Significant Benefit of Memantine on Cognition (ADAS-cog) The second study, called the MMM 500 study, took place in Great Britain. It included 579 patients with an MMSE beween 10 and 22, who were also randomized double-blind and received either 20 mg memantine/day or placebo. The primary endpoints were the ADAS-cog and the CGI-C There was a significant benefit in the memantine group compared to the placebo group in the ADAS-cog; after 12 weeks, the memantine patients showed a modest improvement, while the placebo patients remained unchanged from baseline. A real difference was seen at week 28. The placebo patients had worsened by 2 points, whereas during the same time the memantine patients worsened by only 0.5 points from baseline.

    vascular dementia. The dementia is usually the result of infarction of the brain due to vascular diseases, including hypertensive cerebrovascular disease.  
    http://www.zarcrom.com/users/alzheimers/odem/mid11.html
    
    Extractions: Vascular Dementia Clinical description and diagnostic guidelines Vascular (formerly arteriosclerotic) dementia, which includes multi-infarct dementia, is distinguished from dementia in Alzheimer's disease by its history of onset, clinical features, and subsequent course. Typically, there is a history of transient ischemic attacks with brief impairment of consciousness, or visual loss. The dementia may also follow a succession of acute cerebrovascular accidents or, less commonly, a single major stroke. Some impairment of memory and thinking then becomes apparent. Onset, which is usually in later life, can be abrupt, following one particular ischemic episode, or there may be more gradual emergence. The dementia is usually the result of infarction of the brain due to vascular diseases, including hypertensive cerebrovascular disease. The infarcts are usually small but cumulative in their effect. Diagnostic guidelines The diagnosis presupposes the presence of a dementia as described above. Impairment of cognitive function is commonly uneven, so that there may be memory loss, intellectual impairment, and neurological signs. Insight and judgement may be relatively well preserved. An abrupt onset of deterioration, as well as the presence of neurological signs and symptoms, increases the probability of the diagnosis; in some cases, confirmation can be provided only by a CT Scan or, ultimately, neuropathological examination. Associated features are: hypertension, emotional lability with depressive mood, weeping or explosive laughter, and episodes of clouded consciousness or delirium, often caused by further infarctions. Personality is believed to be relatively well preserved, but personality changes may be evident in some cases with apathy, egocentricity, paranoid attitudes, or irritability.
