Abstract:
Post-stroke dementia (PSD) includes all types of dementia after stroke, which may be the result of cumulative effects of cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and white matter changes. The incidence and prevalence of PSD are high. Its risk factors are mainly vascular risk factors, such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and diabetes. Other risk factors also include various imaging phenotypes of cerebrovascular disease, such as white matter hyperintensities, cerebral microbleeds, and brain atrophy. The clinical evaluation of PSD should be conducted at least 3-6 months after the onset of stroke. The prevention of PSD should focus on controlling vascular risk factors and preventing stroke.
