The incidence rate of stroke is increasing with the sharp increase of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Let me share with you how to treat vascular dementia?.

How is vascular dementia treated?

The first is that vascular dementia is the second largest type of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Its incidence rate is increasing obviously with the sharp increase of stroke and cardiovascular disease. It is a clinical syndrome characterized by a series of cerebrovascular factors (ischemia, hemorrhage, acute and chronic hypoxia, etc.), which cause brain damage.

Second: on the contrary, Alzheimer's disease is more common in women. Vascular dementia is the only type of dementia that can be prevented because of its relatively good prognosis. Because more than 80% of vascular diseases can be prevented, genetic only accounts for about 15%. Therefore, early detection and timely diagnosis and treatment are very important, which may be reversible or delay the progress of the disease.

Third: vascular dementia accounted for 68.5%, ranking first. Epidemiological studies in the United States show that about 26.3% of the survivors of ischemic cerebrovascular disease over 60 years old are complicated with dementia. The risk of vascular dementia is significantly higher in patients with stroke. Vascular damage plays an important role in vascular dementia. The 5-year survival rate of vascular dementia is 39%, which is higher than that of Alzheimer's disease. Early onset for emotional and behavioral changes, memory loss, mental retardation, inattention and loss, personality changes, gait instability, often considered mental disorders.

matters needing attention

There is a close relationship between the recurrence of stroke and vascular dementia. The two are cause and effect each other. Therefore, we should focus on the prevention of the occurrence and recurrence of stroke. We need to develop a healthy lifestyle, good mentality, scientific and rational use of the brain. Middle aged and elderly people should have certain learning and intellectual activities, but not too much pressure and overwork.
