Summary:

Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia are acknowledged as the two most common types of dementia. Each of these dementia syndromes are associated with prodromal clinical syndromes, often referred to as mild cognitive impairment. This volume summarises our current understanding regarding the inherent clinical, neuropathological, and biological heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and mild cognitive impairment and suggests that these disorders are best viewed as existing along a continuum rather than treated as separate and distinct clinical syndromes. In this book, we put forth the point of view that dementia such as Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia; and subtle pre-dementia syndromes such as mild cognitive impairment are best viewed as existing along a continuum rather than distinct and separate disorders.
