Further tests for vascular dementia

  • if the dementia subtype is uncertain and vascular dementia is suspected, use MRI. If MRI is unavailable or contraindicated, use CT.
  • do not diagnose vascular dementia based solely on vascular lesion burden
  • be aware that young-onset vascular dementia has a genetic cause in some people
