EmailVascular Dementia
Vascular dementia is a result of a single or multiple strokes.
A stroke is an area of damaged brain caused by a loss of blood flow or a bleed. Strokes can be large or small and can have a cumulative effect (each stroke adding further to the problem).
Strokes may alter the person’s ability to walk, cause weakness in an arm or leg, slurred speech or emotional outbursts.
