“Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the two leading causes of cognitive impairment or Dementia, in late life. Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a heterogeneous group, their causes are a spectrum, among them there are blood vessels pathologies, different types of vascular brain injuries (VBI) and their distinct distribution of hemorrhages and infarcts. Recommendations to unite and harmonize and unite have been made. Clinical presentation, imaging, neuropsychological trends and pathology are the profiles to fulfill. AD has a minor rate of mortality, but the rate of cognitive impairment is bigger, these are the differences between the two diseases. VCI has true modifiable risk factors, AD has genetic and the presence of those risk factors increase their presentation too.
