Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), cerebrovascular disease and their combination are the most common causes of cognitive impairment (CI) and therefore disability in senior citizens. Mutual influences, manifestations and diagnostics of AD and vascular CI are analyzed. The presence of a vascular component in the development of CI indicates the possibility of their prevention. Treatment of CI is based on correction of vascular factors, non-drug and drug methods to improve cognitive functions. Psychosocial and behavioral methods, cognitive training, central acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine are effective in dementia. The use of cerebrolysine in AD and vascular CI is discussed.
