I have to admit that it hasn't made much difference in my loved one's life whether her malady is diagnosed as vascular dementia or Alzheimer's disease. It all amounts to the same thing, at this stage in the game. The doctor has prescribed "Zochor" -- a cholesterol reducing drug, but this he would prescribe for either condition.
Most doctors are not quick to diagnose a patient as having Alzheimer's disease, because they know that other ailments can cause a patient to exhibit dementia symptoms. For example, in addition to Alzheimer's Disease, maladies like vascular dementia,Lewy Body's or Huntington's disease may cause a patient to act forgetful or demented. Vascular dementia is narrowing of the arteries inside the brain. The restriction of blood flow to the brain is damaging. Thus it is not surprising that a patient with vascular dementia is forgetful, disoriented, or unreasonable, acting in the same way that the Alzheimer's patient acts.
More than half of the patients who exhibit signs of dementia--forgetfulness, inability to stay focused on a task or matter at hand, mood swings, poor judgment, etc.-- have Alzheimer's Disease. Doctors claim that as many as 60 to 70 percent of their cases of dementia are attributable to Alzheimer's. However, there are a multitude of other possible causes, including the possibility that the patient suffers from more than one of these simultaneously. For example, many Alzheimer's patients also have vascular dementia.
Medical researchers are seeking ways to diminish the symptoms of dementia, however, the causes are yet elusive. Until they are pinpointed with some exactness, eradication of this disease will not happen.
To learn more about Alzheimer's look at the Mayo Clinic site. It offers some useful information about this disease. Here's the link:
