Cognitive impairment from cerebrovascular disease is a significant public health concern in Australia. Preventative strategies show potential, but consensus on vascular dementia (VaD) diagnosis and treatment is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Cognitive impairment and dementia secondary to cerebrovascular disease represent a significant public health issue.
  • Preventative strategies offer potential to reduce the public health burden associated with these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on dementia, stroke, and vascular dementia (VaD) in Australia.
  • To gather expert opinions from Australian clinicians and investigators in the field of dementia.
  • To explore challenges and suggest improvements in understanding and managing cognitive and noncognitive consequences of cerebrovascular disease.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published studies on dementia, stroke, and VaD.
  • Consultation with senior clinicians and investigators in Australia.

Main Results:

  • The public health importance of cognitive impairment and dementia due to cerebrovascular disease is acknowledged in Australia.
  • Vascular dementia (VaD) is viewed as a heterogeneous group of syndromes lacking consensus on diagnostic criteria.
  • There is a need for empirical support for VaD definition, subtyping, and understanding its pathophysiological mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • An alternative term, 'vascular cognitive disorder,' is proposed to address current conceptual difficulties with 'dementia'.
  • The importance of noncognitive vascular disorders is highlighted, with no specific treatments currently recognized for VaD.
  • International consensus on diagnostic criteria is crucial for advancing research and drug development in VaD.
