Abstract
Vascular dementia comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions covering a range of clinical and neuropathological presentations of cerebrovascular disease-causing dementia. Vascular dementia is a common occurrence, but many questions regarding the disease remain unanswered. Recently, proposed criteria focus on constructing an overarching disease concept, which captures both pre-dementia stages and the clinical and neuropathological heterogeneity. Future research should focus on identifying subtypes with distinct pathophysiological mechanisms in order to facilitate treatment development.
