Vascular dementia
Vascular dementia, vascular Dementia is a common form of dementia, and suggest the 2010 statistics that affects 0.5% of the population of the world population (about 35 million cases around the world).
Dementia is known as a retreat intellectual abilities (conscious) caused by Altamot progressive brain cells. It is rare that one gets dementia before the age of 65.

Signs and symptoms
There are many early signs that warn of injury vascular dementia, and can be divided into early symptoms of advanced symptoms.
Early symptoms:
Slower thinking.
Difficulties in planning.
Problems with language.
Problems with attention and concentration.
Fluctuations in behavior or mood.

Advanced symptoms:
In the event of continued damage in the brain, it can be symptoms that worsen quickly, making it more difficult for the patient's daily tasks.
Often deteriorating condition of the patient in the form of sudden steps commas relatively fixed time (months or years), and the level of deterioration varies each time, it may be difficult to predict when it happens.

Some patients may complain of vascular dementia symptoms of Alzheimer's as well; if these marks were observed on someone, they should be directed to visit a doctor and consulted, as the early diagnosis of dementia vascular and targeted through treatment and lifestyle changes greatly help to stop the offer, or slow down their progress on less Appreciation.
The cases of vascular dementia are often untreated it will get worse by the day.

The causes of vascular dementia
Vascular dementia resulting from slowing blood flow to the brain, eventually leading to damage and death of nerve cells in the brain.
It happens as a result of one or more of the following reasons:
Vascular dementia resulting from slowing blood flow to the brain, eventually leading to damage and death of nerve cells in the brain.
It happens as a result of one or more of the following reasons:
Narrowing and blockage of small blood vessels in the brain (known as the case of ill microcirculation small vessel disease - Microangiopathy)
Incidence of large blood clot in a single blood vessel in the brain (stroke).
Incidence of a large number of small blood clots in cerebral blood vessels (multiple) strokes, which caused limited damage but on a large scale.

Incidence of a large number of small blood clots in cerebral blood vessels (multiple) strokes, which caused limited damage but on a large scale.
In turn, many of these cases are related to an underlying or latent health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, in addition to the reasons related to unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking and weight gain, which means that neutralize these reasons and handled properly may reduce the risk of developing dementia vascular and other diseases in later stages of life, although the exact amount of the impact is not yet known.
Who are the people most likely to develop vascular dementia
The following factors increase the likelihood of injury to the person Boukrv vasodilator in the later stages of his life:
Hypertension.
Smoking.
Malnutrition.
Overgrowth of blood cholesterol.
Lack of exercise.
Overweight or obese
Diabetes.
alcoholism.
Cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation atrial fibrillation).
These problems can lead to damage to the blood vessels in the body, or to cause the occurrence of thrombi (clots), including bloody.

What methods of reducing the risk of vascular dementia
Can do by following a healthy lifestyle, as eating a healthy diet and exercise and stop smoking and drinking alcohol (if the person is addicted to any of them), and treat any underlying medical conditions.
That would slow the worsening of dementia or stop him when alone, especially if you have been diagnosed at an early stage of the disease.
On the other hand, there are factors that can not be overcome or overcome, which is the worsening of dementia vascular factors, such as:

On the other hand, there are factors that can not be overcome or overcome, which is the worsening of dementia vascular factors, such as:
Age: increased risk of vascular dementia with age, especially after the sixty-fifth birthday.
Family history: an increased risk of strokes in the event of a relative living with them.
The human race: an increased risk of stroke, diabetes and hypertension among some human races, genders, ethnicities, such as African and South Asian and Caribbean.

They can also some genetic diseases that sometimes increase the risk of dementia, vascular diseases such as narrowing of the blood vessels that results from infection disease heirs named Kadasil syndrome (Arteriopathy cerebral autosomal dominant associated with infarcts under crusty white brain and ill) cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).
Caused injury this syndrome for the defective gene that makes the blood vessels in the brain more susceptible to change.

The diagnosis of vascular dementia
In the case of suspicion of infecting someone early symptoms of dementia vascular, it should be directed to visit the doctor himself or allowed one of his relatives or friends.
The doctor will perform some simple tests to see if it was possible that a person is suffering from dementia, and to refer the patient to a specialist doctor if necessary.

In turn, the doctor competent to conduct clinical tests and tests to assess mental capacity when the patient. The request may also bloody images of the brain X-ray analysis.
Supposed to get a doctor, after those inspections and tests, a clear picture about whether the symptoms suffered by the patient resulting from vascular dementia, or other types of dementia, or another case unrelated to dementia.

Inspections and tests and analyzes include both of the following:
Evaluate the symptoms suffered by the patient and test mental abilities, and to investigate the speed of worsening of symptoms.
A comprehensive review of the medical history of the patient, including cases predisposing to infection vascular dementia, such as stroke and high blood pressure.

Clinical examination.
Review of medicines covered by the patient.
A series of laboratory tests, including blood tests to investigate whether the symptoms are caused by other situations, such as vitamin B-12 deficiency.
CT Scan computerized CT imaging of the brain to detect a stroke or brain tumor, or brain MRI to detect any shrinkage in the brain.
Checking heart rhythm by ECG heart.

Can some of those inspections and tests made directly in the doctor's office, while others will require a visit laboratories or radiograph centers or specialized physicians.
The treatment of vascular dementia
There are no specific method or quality from which to treat vascular dementia, as a way to reverse the harmful effects of the brain or her recovery is not available. But can the various treatments that help slow the progression of the disease or stop its progress.
Is a treatment of conditions underlying the main target for the treatment of dementia, including to modify lifestyle to be healthy and take drugs, which ultimately help prevent an aggravation of the situation or slow down its progress.

It includes a healthy lifestyle on many aspects, including:
A healthy diet.
Weight Loss, if the patient is suffering from an increase in weight.
Stop smoking, if the patient is a smoker.
Improve athletic body.
Avoid alcoholic beverages, if the patient is addicted to them.
It can also suggest some forms of psychotherapy or occupational therapy or talk therapy to help patients regain some lost mental functions.

The fate of the disease
Symptoms of the disease often worsens continuously with the patient's age, which is what often happens with commas relatively fixed time sudden changes, although it is hard to predict the length of time these interludes accurately.
And although the treatment may help patients with vascular dementia, to improve their quality of life, however, this disease clearly affects the life expectancy of the patient, and statistics indicate that the average life expectancy after diagnosis of dementia Vascular is only four years.

Most patients die of vascular dementia as a result of complications of the disease, such as pneumonia, or stroke later.
Can patients with dementia or people in charge of the care of the request the assistance of specialized local associations under the auspices of dementia patients and awareness towards him.
