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. 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.
