Ischaemic vascular dementia

Ischemic vascular dementia is a type of brain decline caused by reduced blood flow due to blockages or narrowing of blood vessels supplying the brain. This impairs oxygen and nutrient delivery, leading to damage or death of brain cells. It often develops after strokes or mini-strokes (transient ischemic attacks). Symptoms can include memory loss, difficulty concentrating, confusion, and problems with reasoning or planning. Managing risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol can help prevent or slow its progression. It’s a serious condition that affects thinking, memory, and daily functioning.
