What is Vascular dementia?
'''Vascular dementia''' is the second most common form of [[dementia]] after [[Alzheimer's disease]]. It is a type of dementia caused by problems in the supply of [[blood]] to the [[brain]]. Brain cells need a good supply of blood to stay healthy and function properly. The blood is delivered through a network of blood vessels called the vascular system. If the vascular system within the brain becomes damaged and blood cannot reach the [[brain cell]]s, the cells will eventually die. This can lead to the onset of vascular dementia.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thisisalzheimers.com/|title=THIS is Alzheimers - Early Onset Dementia Alberta (EODA)THIS is Alzheimers|website=thisisalzheimers.com|access-date=2019-02-14|archive-date=2018-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181127173751/https://thisisalzheimers.com/|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} {{biology-stub}} {{Central nervous system disease}} [[Category:Diseases and disorders of the cardiovascular system]] [[Category:Dementia]]
