Vascular dementia
Vascular dementia is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease . It is a type of dementia caused by problems in the supply of blood to the brain .
Brain cells need a good supply of blood to stay healthy and function properly. The blood is delivered through a network of blood vessels called the vascular system. If the vascular system within the brain becomes damaged and blood cannot reach the brain cells , the cells will eventually die. This can lead to the onset of vascular dementia.[1]
