Vascular Dementia: Cerebrovascular Mechanisms and Clinical ManagementRobert H. Paul Springer Science & Business Media, 2007 M11 17 - 372 pages A multidisciplinary survey of our current understanding of the biological and clinical aspects of vascular disease. The authors describe its basic mechanisms, its clinical characteristics, its pharmacological management, and the use of neuroimaging methods to investigate it. The complex relationship between VaD and AD is also fully explored with chapters on how these processes interact and how one disease may lower the threshold for clinical expression of the other. |
