Multi-infarct dementia: prevention and treatment

J P Wade. Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord. 1991 Summer.

Abstract

Multi-infarct dementia (MID) characteristically presents with an acute event followed by a stepwise and fluctuating downhill course. Progression is generally considered the consequence of recurrent stroke (Hachinski, 1983): the mainstay of treatment, therefore, is the prevention of further ischemic events.
