Abstract
Neuropsychology is an integral component of health care assessment for persons with vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia. Since syndromes of vascular cognitive decline have multiple and varying pathophysiologies, anatomic brain locations, and levels of severity, neuropsychological assessment can be critical to clarify the cognitive manifestations of the disease, potential consequences for the patient and family, as well as the prognosis for future life planning. Cognitive profiles of vascular cognitive declines and relevant neuropsychological literature are reviewed here to provide the practicing physician with guidance for best clinical care practices.
