Cerebrovascular Disease, Cognitive Impairement and Dementia

In the world of dementia publications, Alzheimer's disease has had the major share of written material. There is a shortage of texts addressing other dementias, especially those that relate to cerebrovascular disease. As studies in this area slowly gain pace, it is timely to review the current state of knowledge of the relationship between cerebrovascular disease and dementia and to re-examine the concept, classification, epidemiology, pathology, behavioural neurology, neuropathology, and neuropsychology of dementia related to cerebrovascular origin. Further, the rapid advances in neuroimaging techniques deserve some attention with the multi-modal treatment and management strategies that are becoming available. The role of the family, long-term care and prevention are frequently ignored in texts. These are included to highlight the importance of a more comprehensive approach to the subject. This second edition of Cerebrovascular Disease and Dementia has been reorganized and expanded to include emphasis on primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease as well as on the treatment of cognitive impairment.O'Brien, John A. is the author of 'Cerebrovascular Disease, Cognitive Impairement and Dementia', published 2004 under ISBN 9781841842660 and ISBN 1841842664.
