Vascular dementia
Vascular dementia is a common form of dementia that's estimated to affect more than 135,000 people in the UK.
Early warning signs of vascular dementia can be hard to spot, but if they are identified early, treatment may help slow or halt the progression of the condition.
Vascular dementia is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, which damages and eventually kills the brain cells.
Confirming a diagnosis of vascular dementia can be difficult, particularly when the condition is in its early stages.
There's currently no cure for vascular dementia and no way to reverse the damage to the brain that's already occurred, but treatments can help prevent further damage.
