Topic: Life After Stroke: Light From The CogFAST Study
Educational Objectives:
- Stroke is a leading cause of disability, dementia and death worldwide; one in three will have a stroke, develop dementia or succumb to both.
- Post-stroke dementia has not been widely characterised and often thought to be a mixed dementia.
- After considerable stability >30% of stroke survivors develop dementia (PSD) in first few years; ~75% in form of vascular dementia.
- Small vessel disease pathology and microinfarction are important substrates.
- Cerebral atrophy remains an important target.
- Our largest study of its kind and relevant animal models to simulate human pathophysiological mechanisms, show that vigorous control of modifiable risk factors and lifestyle can deliver quality of life after stroke.
