This webinar will be led by Prof. Sarah Pendlebury (University of Oxford, UK) and Dr. Frank Wolters (Erasmus MC, The Netherlands). Dr. Wolters will present a case to illustrate the challenges in the nosological diagnosis of cognitive impairment, including some treatment dilemmas, to improve clinical reasoning for the diagnosis and management of VCI. Following the case presentation, Prof. Pendlebury will discuss vascular cognitive impairment with particular reference to post-stroke dementia, mixed dementia and the role of systemic factors outside the brain.
This webinar aims to give participants insight into:
- the epidemiology of dementia and post-stroke dementia
- diagnostic criteria for VCI/VaD
- typical cognitive domain impairment profile
- post-stroke dementia including risks of dementia in relation to the background population
- key risk factors
- delirium, transient impairments and cognitive trajectory
- role of systemic factors
- management
Dr. Alastair Webb and Dr. Else C. Sandset will moderate an interactive discussion among presenters and participants directly following the presentations.
