Poststroke dementia

Cerebrovascular Diseases

Abstract

The association between stroke and dementia is frequent. The prevalence of poststroke dementia (PSD) ranges from 6 to 32%, depending on the population studied, the criteria used for the diagnosis of dementia, and the time interval between the stroke and the neuropsychological assessment. The risk of PSD is high immediately after stroke and remains higher than in controls in stroke patients nondemented 3 months after stroke. Not all cases of PSD are vascular in origin, with about one third of demented patients diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease plus stroke. The pathophysiology of PSD is probably multifactorial, with an influence of vascular lesions, associated Alzheimer's lesions and white matter changes. The risk of dementia is higher in older patients and in patients with preexisting cognitive decline - no dementia, severe stroke, a history of stroke, white matter changes and cerebral atrophy. The influence of stroke location, vascular risk factors and silent infarcts remains to be determined. PSD adversely influences the outcome in stroke patients.

ApoE Phenotypes

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a protein involved in fat metabolism and associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. Here is the latest research on APOE phenotypes.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Basal Forebrain- Circuits

Basal forebrain is a region in the brain important for production of acetylcholine and is the major cholinergic output of the CNS. Discover the latest research on circuits in the basal forebrain here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
