Stroke, Vascular Dementia, Alzheimer’s: What’s the Difference? | Dr. Jason Hinman

Vascular dementia is the second-most common form of dementia and often develops after a stroke. In this episode, Dr. Jason Hinman of UCLA explains how disrupted blood flow to the brain can lead to cognitive decline, how vascular dementia differs from (and often overlaps with) Alzheimer’s disease, and what the latest research means for prevention and treatment.
